    Methanol In Engine Oil

    I am experiencing fuel in my engine oil when I drain it out at the end of riding. Will adjusting the float height resolve the problem or is there another issue? It is a Blixt Mk1 carb. Thanks in advance for any help.
  2. Count me in please Kev. Cheers Gareth
  3. I was advised last year that a rider was limited to how many day licences he could have per year, after this they were obliged to get a SCB licence. Not sure if this was correct information or not?
  4. Are you going to run every Saturday through the year for practice?

    Dragons Amateur Meeting

    Next meeting scheduled for Sat 8th Nov at Kings Lynn. I believe it is a 4 pm start. This is the last Dragons meeting for the season. Contact Julie Tutton for details
  6. What a brilliant day, very well organised and lots of encouragement given to every rider. Just want to say a big thank you to Kev, all his helpers and the track staff for what was a truly memorable day. Looking forward to the next one!

    Engine Service

    Just wanted to say that I recently received excellent service from Guy Allott Motorcycles in Buxton. Friendly, helpfully advice from people who are genuinely interested in speedway providing good old fashioned service. Bear them in mind next time you need an engine service etc.
  8. Could you confirm your practice date for September ? I was hoping to come over again for a ride. Cheers Gareth

    Leathers

    You can try motorise industries, they have a web site. I got mine made to measure and posted to me for £300. They are also on facebook. Quality is not bad for the money, they are just quite hot in the warm weather but I have found them very comfy. They accept PayPal so you have some payment protection. Don't forget to allow for your body armour etc when taking your measurements. Cheers.
  10. Do you need to book for the practice day or just turn up? Cheers

    Dragons Dates For 2014

    I have recently joined the Dragons but rode on a day licence last year, so I assume you can still do this. Normally you are allocated to group or team of similar riding ability so no one is out of their comfort zone. Not 100% sure about the silencer regs but recommend you speak to Julie Tutton on the number above. Meetings are very well run and you will be made welcome, always a friendly atmosphere. Hope this helps.

    Methanol In Engine Oil

    It's quite substantial. I use the choke for starting but turn it off immediately the engine is running. I am stripping and cleaning the carb to see if this makes any difference. Have been advised that it may be over fuelling if the floats are not closing off the inlet to the bowl? Thanks,

    Methanol In Engine Oil

    Not entirely sure as I have bought the bike second hand for use in amateur meetings. It is still in its original set up. Stripping the carb is my project for the weekend. It starts easily and runs fine, but when I drop the oil it is contaminated with fuel. Do you think a smaller jet would help? Cheers,

    Does anyone now how long it will take to resolve these issues? Is there a timescale of when to have the track available again?

    Dragons Dates For 2014

    Such a shame when we were so close to starting the season. Lets hope an alternative is found soon and wherever that may be I am sure you will have continued support. I for one appreciate all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes so that we have the opportunity to ride our bikes. Good luck to Russ, Julie and Cookie.
  21. Weather permitting will you still plan to have an open practice on 15th March?
  22. Many thanks, will get in touch nearer the time. Cheers.
  23. Do you have any dates planned for February and March? Thanks
  24. With regard to leather suits, does anyone know if TNM Designs are still making riding gear? Tried contacting them via their website but have had no reply.
