Intermittent miss

Had to figure out a way of getting them outta the phone and into my computer first. Maybe I should have asked Ron how to do it in his PC thread  :D

Cam, i just send the photo to myself as an email from my phone and download it from my laptop - even asks what size i wan the file to be. Too easy.
 
:D Took bike over to REDAX today, changed out heaps of stuff in carbs, neeedle heights etc, test rode bike 4 or five times ..... nadah.
Changed Ignitech module..... nadah.
Changed back to old one ...... :o No start, no LED's on Sash ignition board. (banghead) But had we just found the problem?

Red pulled the skinny little wires at the ignition board plug, earth wire was broken and just making contact. Fix, test ride, straight to 7,000rpm .............. no miss :D

Vibrations at 4,000rpm must have been enough for it to loose contact, and create the elusive miss. Rode bike back to my place, mainly at or above 4,000rpm through to ? (fast) no miss.
Even popped a tidy wheelie across the road from a set of lights.

Very happy result. Thanks Red, you sir, are a gentleman.

Intermitent miss no longer.  8) way  8)
 
Coming back to Sydney from the Tassie ride I tipped my bike over stopping mid-U turn on a steep bit of road. Later that day the bike started backfiring and breaking down, coughing and farting, crazy dangerous in the expected traffic closer to Sydney. This continued the next day till the clever types hot wired it bypassing the whole ignition wiring. Next weekend "you know who" found the battery rubber strap broken by the tip over on its side allowing the battery to move about and the ignition EARTH wire broken 50mm up the wire under the insulation. I was looking for a box of matches when it was running like shit and spoiling 7 other blokes ride. Bet your one happy camper now Chris.Great fix.
 
I have decided to put some shrink tube over the end of that plug, shrink it down at the plug end and fill the tube and skinny little wires with slicione, encasing the sheathed part of the cable, allow it to set and shrink it down further. That?ll stop the little buggers from breaking off again. A bit like potting epoxy.
 
Chris I'm sure you know what your doing with the Silicone just remember some are acidic and can attach the wires over time... as Telstra found out
 
I recently bought some stiffish blue foam rubber from Clark Rubber to cut to size and shim any gaps around my battery and EI box. Well cushioned and stops any movement. Wolfgang sells a rubber mat for under the std battery.
