Anyone know if there are any timing marks that facilitate the use of a strobe to check the timing on a running engine .

Re: spark plug caps
I've had problems with the "R" plugs so now only use C8's .Seems better with Lucas coils (instead of the Yamaha originals) , copper core HT leads ,5 Ohm plug caps ,and C8 plugs .

Re: spark plug caps
My 10 Ohm plug caps arrived today .Fitted them and what a difference BLOODY AWFUL !!!!.Sod to start then backfired, sounded flat ,exhaust headers glowing red .Re-fitted the 5 Ohm plug caps and all OK !! I'm amazed a plug cap can make such a difference .Ho Hum ,we live and learn .

Re: spark plug caps
Thanks , Ordered a pair from France (£13.35 inc P&P).Still wondering about the advantage of 10 ohm v 5 ohm. Come on you electrical boffins , i hate a mystery .

spark plug caps
I am using a "minimag" ignition system on my interpol and have been advised to use 10 ohm resister plug caps. I ordered two but when they came they were 5 ohm . Phoned the bloke up and "nah , mate don't exist "!!!. I've seen them "on-line" but not the long straight ones...

Re: NGK Spark Plugs
I've had grief with the NGK resistor (not racing , as I've heard folk say ) Trouble re-starting when the engine is hot .Pop old C8E's back in and fires up straight away .

Interpol starting .
I've got an irritating problem with a aircooled rotary Interpol. It runs very well BUT after stopping and turning the engine off (stopping for petrol , cuppa tea , or any other reason) there seems to be a 50/50 chance of it firing up on two rotors !!! It seems to be the r/h rotor not starting usuall...

Re: S.U Carb jetting
They are stainless steel and a lovely colour from straw brown tapering away to polished stainless at the reverse cone end .The colour is exactly the same both sides so I guess the rotors mixture/balance is good. .A sort of external/visual colour tune !!!!!

S.U Carb jetting
I'm about to strip and clean the S.U's on my Interpol .The bike is running "OK" but as it's running through Commando "peashooter" pipes which are pretty much straight through and taking into consideration the poor quality of the fuel these days would anyone recommend any changes ...

Interpol 'will not start when hot
I've sonic cleaned the SU's and i'm fairly sure they are pretty close to a std setting . The engine starts o.k from cold and warms up .It settles to a good even tick over but if I stop the engine I've got no chance of it re-starting .The carbs were cleaned for this reason .I have the digital system ...

Re: airhead thermocouple wiring
It seems the earlier post regarding the fact that the thermocouple gauge is wired directly to the sender is correct .All cleaver stuff !! (witchcraft ).Two dis similar metals ,the sender ,when heated produce a micro voltage which moves the gauge .I guess a solar panel works in a similar way ????
