(-:AD:-) Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) That's is not acceptable Andy. Absolutely awfull, couldn't live with it like that! Just wait until Bob sees it! Only joking mate, don't look too bad... Looks great from the side that will be seen and it does its job well so nothing wrong imo!

Would it not have been possible to have cut the mesh to fit in one large piece rather than lots of little bits? Yes I could have but I just went headlong into it lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old version I used was clear but the new lot I got is a metal colour. It does the job and can be peeled off when required without damaging anything.

andyknight Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Decision made, Pro MX head kit ordered and gone with a tillotson carb. Not sure if it's going to be good or bad but we'll soon see. Update: Ian ran out of 30.5 head kits off the shelf so scott is doing mine on friday, won't have it until next week now :-( Edited July 7, 2016 by andyknight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Still not arrived, apparently next week now. Lets hope there's no more delays! In the mean time I blew up my KM engine and looking at the piston it looks like it ingested something. New piston, ring and head fitted along with a new carb since the old one had serious wear round the throttle shaft. This engine will serve as my spare once the Pro MX has been built and fitted. At least the rebuilt KM started in 2 pulls, first time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H did mention them to me but it went in one ear and out the other ;-) Edited July 16, 2016 by andyknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 Good news, Prox MX 30.5 head kit has finally arrived and new carb etc. Bad news, I'm now away until thursday evening so no assembling until then 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Pro mx top end assembled. I didn't have a billet clutch housing to hand so cast it has to be for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No although the piston is ported right up to the gudgeon pin. Edited July 22, 2016 by andyknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyknight Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Pro MX started with one pull with choke and 2 pulls without. No changes to the tillotson carb yet and I have no idea which is the high and low needles as they are not marked!! More investigation required!!
