[QUOTE="Normski, post: 115443, member: 3106"] Mine is an earlier one from the previous owner of BTH, it failed on one cylinder earlier this year and the new BTH owner fitted all new internals to it. With this done it has still got a messy mass of black sealant/silicone in it (I think Vibrac posted a picture of the inside of one some time back) I found after refitting it to exactly the same timing as previously using the same piston stop, that the bike didn’t run too well. I did the wrong thing and messed with the carbs (which Alyn may recall being a problem in Paris) but having now advanced the timing several degrees to about 37btdc the bike runs as it did before. Notwithstanding this I like the BTH and the bike is a reliable starter and has never kicked back when trying to start which is a great benefit. [/QUOTE]
