Gavin from Peterborough

Hi guys, been about on here for a few weeks now. Got a '71 Bullet with a 13hp yanclone. Looking into turbo charging, and running on svo blended fuel. I do about 150 miles a day so fuel economy and reliability is important, as is being able to cruise at 70 - hence the turbo!

Re: enfield 13hp diesel

Henry said this wasn't a winsun, making refence to the fact they're know to be just a wee bit shite. We'll see how the new engine fares.

Re: Old Clunker 'Vegefuel' experiments.

you seemed to have more luck with white spirit as a thinner? And what do you mean petrol's an expensive thinner? It's no worse than white spirit. The best I've found online is £33 for 25 litres plus delivery. I have a 1500 litre tank for 28sec kersene in the back garden, and it costs me 60p a litre!...

Re: enfield 13hp diesel

spooky eh! Yeah, that sounds like mine. Dr Henry has had a look - BROKEN CRANK! mental eh? He's put a new one in and improved the gear shift and front brake. She'll have a hard working life with me - over 2,500 miles a month is planned. The engine is good for about 55mph top cruising, might hit 60 d...

Re: Old Clunker 'Vegefuel' experiments.

howdy. Am I right in thinking you're running one of Henry Price's 456cc yanclones? Mine's in for a new engine at present, but when it's back I'm looking at trying the vegoil route. re veg oil: try your local cash and carry - mine does 20 lt KTC oil in plastic tubs at £19 a pop, so a little cheaper t...

Re: enfield 13hp diesel

hey guys. Just to throw a spanner in the works... I've got one of Henry Price's enfields (1971) with a 456cc yanclone engine. It managed 435 miles before it blew up! The 41 year old bike was fine - it was the brand new engine that died. On the up side, Henry says it's the first he's heard of, and he...
