Ha, good eyes Nizz!

That was the expansion pipe falling off, the exhaust bracket lost the two bolts holding it on.

Me and Simon will be giving all the peds a bloody good once over before the 20th, I think Locktight will be No.1 on our list Very Happy

Top man buddy!

Im in all afternoon so I will go a check my parts, I know I have a spindle back there somewhere, not sure about a throttle cable or carb.

Keep you posted mate.

Did the guy carry on round the track after? Seems a bit sketchy. If be straight on the brakes and walk back lol

hicksi Fri Jan 25, 2013 6:37 am

Yeah thats my Buddy Simon, although the video doesn't show it (Merged into the next clip) we stopped out of the way on the next corner.

Not only did I see it fall off (impressive with sparks lol), Simon definitely heard the noise difference lol!

and the power dropped off...

sxpmike Fri Jan 25, 2013 6:40 am

I've had a similar thing with pipes falling off! Noisy lol.

Anyone offering a rip on their ped so we can get some wheelie footage? Might be struggling to wheelie the kart lol

hicksi Sat Jan 26, 2013 11:40 am

Good news!

Goped Nation finally allowed me to post a new thread.

*SO were live now, hopefully get a bit more interest that way!

The Biggy is running a CY260 with 16mm carb and stalker exhaust with a black magic spindle and ADA lockdown kit...

Also, had a look in the garage, got a spare spindle, it's a Biggy black magic spindle!

It has an ADA racing gsr sport frame with the red candy paint from the factory. No longer made

Has cy29 engine with Trevor Simpson headkit at 13:1 compression with a 2mm stroker crank

Has TGN v3 chrome Flybars with TGN vbrakes. TBR "dice flame" deck (not sure model name I made that up).

Rattlesnake pipe with custom over sized race manifold. Derek short frame clamp (I used on pipe for looks and to not scratch frame)

4 Hollywood cable clamps. One Mico cable clamp. One "en fuego" cable clamp. Hollywood has cap

Bdl billet front wheel. Upgraded gearing on scooter for more top speed. Has TGN billet air filter with uncommon face design. Has chrome fancover. Pro grips. Ddm tank cover.

Nearly every single part is very rare designed it as a complete unique "look".

Spindle would be great help mate

Also I have a big problem I just put new pipe on jetpro pipe
And new ally pullstart fired up but won't run properly
I have toyed and tried to set the high an low fuel but I'm having no luck who can tune this for me
And would changing the pipe mess with the tune it had?

sxpmike Sat Jan 26, 2013 7:01 pm

Any modification would mean you need a retune. Look on GPN, they will have a detailed carb tuning guide. I can look over the engine on the night but no guarantees as to finding a solution. Try stripping down basic parts and rebuilding after an inspection of consumables (eg gaskets)
