2x engine build

[EYREY1]

It's 100% complete and freshly rebuilt. There are also a load of spares, probably enough for a 2nd complete engine. Price is about £3k and I don’t mind driving to get it.

looks nice that ben
better than the crap that comes up for sale over here on ebay ,its either broken /incomplete/very expensive

And I want it to stay that way too, hence one of the reason for going to pick it up myself

i dont blame you thinking about it , sort of protects your investment
plus you get to see it before you buy it !

that front sprocket is massive ! 25 tooth lol

Gear ratios are close on these, about 500rpm drop through the top gears and this one is setup for a kart

[EYREY1]

do they come with the electrics and carbs

[Luders]

Yeah it's ready to bolt into the chassis and go. They are del'orto 39mm carbs I think, but I did see a second pair in the box of spares.

[Luders]

Just had another look, there are del'lorto 39.5 VHSC's and a pair of Del'lorto 38 VHSB carbs.

ben do you know who did the cilinders?

i think i know but i'm not sertain, does the name Thijs Hessels mean anything to you

not sure he used the name THR or THT ( THIJS HESSELS TUNING or THIJS HESSELS RACING)

he did the bike for jurgen van de goorbergh when he was second in assen i think in 1991

[Luders]

Yeah that sounds about right Jarno, Thijs Hessels Racing. What do you know about him?

He did my H...a cr 125 in 1999 when i was racing dirtbikes.
he's a wel respected dutch tuner what i know he also was involved with tuning aprillia's rsw for the GP's.
i even think he did tuningwork for the aprillia factory team for Jan thiel but i'm not sure.

nice puzzle pieces

[EYREY1]

i built up both barrels tonight loosely just to see if i have everything and i dont ! gutted .
i have a tiny pin missing off the power valves so need 2 of those , dont know why he didnt put them in
as i orderd full new barrels, heads, power valves and everything else to operate them
got 2 small bolts and washes missing from the elbow on the heads
and 2 bleed bolts and washes from the barrels .
i wanted the propper bolts and washes as they are to do with the water and we all know how strange they can be to seal up right.
all in all not too bad shouldnt be over a tenner ,just glad i checked now and didnt leave it until it was going in the bike with the intention of running it .

[Luders]

Can you get them easy enough?

[EYREY1]

i dont know
i have sent a message to italy ,but knowing them they wont start working until march 16 th
bought a set of rs 125 sp clocks for it today ,they go up to 180 kmh so i will use a kmh -mph converter
as these are supposed to be good for 165 mph ,they are same as s250 clocks ,and i will look for an mph speedo
also got a tank , just waiting on a price for rear subframe ,radiator,front wheel,front subfame,rear caliper and carrier
im just waiting for a price off someone , i need a mk1 rs250 complete rear wheel
