Everyday TR1 - V-star conversion (part 4)

To be dubbed: "ironing out the bugs" and bugs there were plenty.


Now this does sound rather unhealthy, or in other words only running on one pot. The interesting question was... why?

After some fooling around with the carbs it hard become rather apparent, that it was an ignition issue and as such an emergency package was compiled.


I had expected to probably swap out the spark plugs and maybe a coil, but in the end I needed all of it.

Went back to the stock TCI...


... swapped out the coils for old stock ones ...


... but the cream of the show was a sparkplug that probably somebody had dropped at the shop (it was brand new) with a completely broken insulator. 


The result spoke for itself.


While I was at it I also fitted some fresh pads in the front and back and some fresh disks on the front as the old ones looked more like some pretty awesome vinyls...
