I can live with the piss taking, I taxed the Honda about lunch time today, £18 a year! what a foccing rip off :lol
Then rode it up to Wildplum's house (My mate) it meant a 9 miler up the A3 (London to Portsmouth Road) heading North, well if your heading North from anywhere down South it is an up hill journey heading North.
I managed 53 miles an hour at one point (according to the speedo) but it did not last very long and settled at a happy but revvey 50 mph, it seemed to hold speed along the flat and only dropped 2 or 3 miles an hour up hills.
When I left Wildplum's house and got back onto the A3 heading South I still only managed 53 MPH down hill, a couple of bigger bikes when flying by me but slowed right up and I caught up with then they parted and allowed me to pass between them both giving the C 90 a good look over and smiling the then shot by me again and slowed up again and allowed me to pass between them again but this time they had swapped sides, again I got a yeah, a smile and a whoop of glee, then a thumbs up again, they then disappeared like a bolt of lightening. :eek

On a serious note though the C-90 has a fair amount of piston slap, and leaves a faint trail of blue smoke behind when your giving it the beans
(Mind you your always giving it the beans)
Coming up to a junction, shut down engine on the overrun, all clear, throttle round your neck, massive cloud of blue smoke  :'(
Going to put a new pot and piston on it, about 55 quid on the bay (Prob Chinese), or, might find an engineering place and have it re-bored and new piston.
anyone know of a place near Guildford/Portsmouth area that can do this.
There used to be a place near Elstead close to Farnham/Guildford but not sure if they are still there. I believe they were called 'G & S Valves'

Any way a bit of piston slap has not spoiled the project, a mornings work and £60ish and jobs-a-goodun, its all apart of the final fiddle.

Got the C90 out today and it refused to start, got disheartened so left it for a while, In the mean time the FZS started first stab on the button, went back to the Honda and tried again, it would run very lumpy with the choke on full but as soon as I moved the choke lever an eighth of an inch it would cut out. took the carb off and the bowl was full of pink oil, guess what twat put the 2 stroke fuel for the petrol strimmer in the Honda?
I also left the fuel tap on and as the fuel evaporated out of the carb, firstly because the thing was hot when I stopped, and just through normal evaporation it left pretty much neat oil in the bottom of the float bowl, with the hint of petrol it started but was so short of petrol as Soon as the choke came off in the slightest it stopped because of an incredibly week mixture, not helped by a very oily plug.

Lesson learned X 2.

1: don't put two stroke fuel in a four stroke engine.
2: Turn the bloody fuel tap off.
