With that profit I decided to "re-invest" rather than let Mrs P get hold of it all......
It was local and running nicely, all 19bhp of it
Not bad and with the deal for selling the W650, I still have £130 left to spend on this one

Following on from a recent "W650 project" viewtopic.php?f=12&t=39203&start=15 which after a good inspection I sent on for a tidy profit, although that was not the initial plan, but it was too far gone!

Re: Z250 C
Spent the last couple of evenings "settling" the little bike into its new home..... new plug, new HT cap, fresh plug & oil, pumped up tyres and general check over.
One reason the bike came cheap was it had a tendency to cut-out at high revs, so I stripped the carb, checked float levels, jets, needle setting, points, timing, etc. Bike starts and idles nicely.
Went out for a longer run today (now insured) and it started cutting out after a mile or so It recovered if you went careful (40mph) on slight throttle.
Soon as opened throttle started kangarooing - stopped as it stalled and it started up a few seconds later so I got back home slowly.
Off with carb again and also check flow from tank - no shit and fuel cap breathing okay.... has to be fuel starvation?
This time also checked valve clearances and they were both a shade TIGHT
Set them to 0.1mm and 0.2mm (in - ex) and off for another test ride.
Result... sorted
Gonna enjoy riding this thing to work in the sunshine.

Is it sunny where you are then? Bloody chucking it down here!!
That motor looks familiar - Same as my 1979 KL250 I think.

It was sunny - briefly...... and yes, the motor is v. similar to KL250, it has bigger valves, but has no kickstart!

Just waiting for a guy to finish welding up a stainless pipe for mine, stick on some decals and I'm done.
Suns just come out down here!
