Dellorto Carb
The bike's original Dellorto UB24BS carb was taken apart and cleaned today. It won't be going back on the bike as there are better options out there, but I can't decide to keep it or not. For now I might just hang on to it...
Ignition System Installation
Back when I had the engine on the workbench, I installed the first portion of the Powerdyanmo Ignition system. I had previously installed this system on my other bike and have enjoyed excellent results, so I repeated the process here with photos: After removing the side cover the clutch and factory alternator are visible. I removed the clutch plates & basket along with the alternator in order to install the Powerdyamo magneto: After reinstalling the clutch the next step was to install the control box and ignition advance unit. As with the other bike, I chose to mount these together below the seat cowl: At this point, it's simply plug and play - no more adjusting points or worrying about having a fully-charged battery. The Powerdyamo also 'upgrades' the ignition system from 6-volt to 12-volt and provides a more reliable spark as well as better lighting. I will be taking my time with the wiring as to make sure everything is a clean installation.
