Lou the Camry has never been in the garage....it is full of stuff from when I moved here 9 years ago and still in boxes.
AND bike stuff.
One day I may take a photo...
My RED bike WILL get me to Bourke but the spare is going ok now that I fixed that one problem, now there are all the other problems.

Hey Xtian
More light and more room ;D  More light, was it a Phillips that you mentioned in a H4 that was the ducks guts :) More room, park that friggen Camry out on the street/down the road/or into theives-vill (nobody steals Camry's)  so you can give "Spare" some room to breath:::: Truth be known if you (PLAY) with "SPARE" properley Stoke/cuddle I bet "Spare" will be a reliable one to get you to  Bourke. (LOL)

Think I found the intermittent problem with Spare.
Looks like the P.O had rewired the pickups and added normal hookup wire (stiffer) so what happened is the original
flex (white wire) had been pushed a bit close to the rotor, touched sometimes, and worn through ever so slightly so intermittent .
Wasn't until I got into plenty of light AND room that I saw the copper starting to show through.
I need more room and more light
That's what happens as you get old and broken and worn out :-( :-(

Pictures soon

I'll see what I can do, it is nothing special just something to get around on.
Still playing with carbs etc
Ran like a dog on Thursday coming home from work so took camry on Friday.
Fiddled on Saturday, replaced 40 pilots with 42.5 and mains to 137.5 next will put 140 to see what happens
and a smaller hole for the vac advance.
Then I will have time for pictures
Mal is still working on the #1 bike
Since I got this spare I realise how badly bent mine was  :o :o :o
