‘AAA Dummy
MemberBy some luck ive managed to get hold of the special headstock/damper mounting assembly for the Squire type sidecar as offered by Wilf Green,and the clamp that goes on the footbrake tube,so just the chair itself to locate now 🙂

MemberBiggest problem seems to be finding one with the fittings for the MZ frame,I can’t afford the £500+ Watsonian would want to supply them,if they can still supply them.As with many things years ago the club mag was full of them,all gone now it seems

MemberHi Derek
I don’t personally have one for you, I do have a couple of bits but am hanging on to them (cables and bars such like). May I make a suggestion: If you can’t get one here then there are two other choices 1) either wait until you have a large enough order to make it “post cost effective” or 2) if you know other members ordering then perhaps they may tack on your spring to theirs, just a helpful thought
Hope you get there in the finish
best

MemberThanks for the offer George but i need something that can carry a child so a Squire or Mitzi would be ideal

MemberHi
Have a look at the wiring diagram on the page below.
http://www.sweller.co.uk/mz/electrics/wir_tz12.html
If I am reading it right the D+ on the regulator goes to the D+ on the rectifier with a red and yellow wire.
Hope this helps.

MemberI had the same thing happen from a blocked exhaust actually, at a sustained 60-65 im guessing that EGTs got too high and the motor locked up then freed up by the next layby. Had just swapped the exhaust from a very leaky but free flowing one where the bike was noisy but would sit at 80mph happily, swapped exhaust and the next ride top speed was down to 70 and I had the seisure at around 65 after a long climb

MemberHello Derek,
Thanks for the suggestion to use nuts and bolts, this might well be a lot easier, the mud flap and mud guard are both pre-drilled so this is not an issue.
Kind regards,
Mark

MemberHi Duncan, many thanks for your answer, as I’ve never tired riveting, would a ‘standard’ rivet gun work with the Simson rivets? Cheers, Mark
‘AAA Dummy
Memberyou use a pop rivet gun and hey presto new mudflaps
‘AAA Dummy
Memberwell clutch adjustment is the obvious starting point,but would have assumed you had done that.tight chain could also affect it
‘AAA Dummy
MemberCheck your oil pump cable is a.working and b.adjusted correctly,does it smoke much?
‘AAA Dummy
MemberReplacing the carburettor sorted this out. I bought a BVF copy/clone from Poland (£45 including post). Started straight up and ran perfectly. The quality is pretty dire though (as you might expect for the money). Longer term I will be looking to put a Mikuni on it.
‘AAA Dummy
MemberThanks Rob, Yes, I believe the spacer method would work equally well. I just got a 100mm M10 bolt and screwed it in, popped straight off.
Well, I changed the generator side seal….. No improvement, so I got myself a clutch puller and an engine locker and changed the clutch side seal. Guess what…. no improvement.
I will revisit the carb and manifold, although I thought I had been pretty thorough the first time. Perhaps I will try a different carburettor if I can get my hands on something that fits. The only thing I can add is that by trial and error I discovered that if I drop the throttle needle right down to it’s lowest position (top notch – weakest?) then it will run at a lower tickover (2000 rpm) but still if I blip it revs up and takes ages to settle back down to 2000.
At least I have eliminated the seals as the cause, I know I have a good set of seals in and I won’t feel as daunted at tackling the job on other bikes in the future.
‘AAA Dummy
MemberThat’s brilliant. Thanks very much Peter, that is exactly what I needed. I have ordered the seal and will see how it goes… If there’s no improvement I will tackle the drive side which I guess needs a clutch puller.
Thanks again,
Pete.‘AAA Dummy
MemberHi Mick
I have a spare clutch cable barrel from when I built up my TS250/1.
If you drop me a line with your address you can have it.
Its just taking up room in the garage. Not much admittedly.
I hung onto it as it might come in handy one day. Then 10 years later the need arises.
