Hallo Allan, not every R26/27 needs a 11gr float: 1/22/55 + /68 needs a 7 gr float. Greetings Rolf ... Order a new float. ... fill it with electrolyte and...
I bought a new mechanical advance a while ago from Uli's because with the help of the people on this board I concluded that the advance that i had was not from...
I also forgot to mention that after reading all the data from the Einzielinder site I decided to open all the holes of my muffler from the standard 6mm to 8mm...
Ben, Opening the holes from six to eight should be more noticable when you get your advance mechanism straightened out. It should be at full advance somewhere...
Hi Ben, ... How about claiming this with Uli's? He's known to have a good reputation. I have not been able to take my bike out of storage yet, hence no news on...
Bart, Richard thanks for your replies I just went and undid the securing screws and released the tension on the springs, to the point where there is virtually...
Hello Jean, Maybe I'm just expecting too much, I mean the bike runs fine unfortunately there's nothing else to compare my bike with except when i visit a...
Hello Jean, Maybe I'm just expecting too much, I mean the bike runs fine unfortunately there's nothing else to compare my bike with except when i visit a...
Ben, ... I'm not sure what you mean exactly by releasing the securings screws and releasing the tension. Having no initial tension sounds like a good idea to...
Hi Bart, The new advance that I bought has only one attachment point per side, the springs are the same length. The plates are secured to the advance with a...
Hi Ben, I must say MY R 25/3 is NOT a rocket. It makes a lot more noise than an R 26 or 27 (deeper sound, because of the admission tube), but, speaking of...
Hello all, I'm finally to the point in my project where anything that needs to be done with the oil pan removed where I need parts. I have the deep sump, but...
Hey Kim, if I understnand: You are searching for the bigger (15mm) oilpump? And you are searching therefore a Isetta-pump? Isetta has the same oilpump as the...
Everyone, I finally put my R-35 together and with 3 hrs of fiddling I got the timing right (using a 6v light and a pair of aligator clips, it does wonder). The...
Hello Titus, The oil pumps on the singles (even on the R27, which has a larger capacity) do not pump much oil to the upper gallery. You did not say that you...
Hello Kim, I'm wondering if it's really necessary that you would need the higher capacity oil pump, unless you have made some major modification to the engine....
Richard, The drops of oil was coming at higher RPMs, about 2000 to 2300. When I pushed it little higher little changed. Since everything is new in the engine I...
Hi Your valves lack of oil problem could be what I experienced. When I got my R26, 4yrs ago, I found that the exhaust valve was not getting any oil, the intake...
Andrew, that could be an explanation. If you go to the tips and tricks section of the Eizylinder site, Ser has posted some pictures on the cleaning of the head...
I just had an evil thought... Standard mono rear gear ratios are the same or close to twin sidecar ratios. I know there is larger brake drums on the twins than...
Steve, I've looked at this in-depth and the twins (at least the /2s) and monos (at least R27s) ARE different. I had enough gears laying around that i thought...
Aww, NUTS! I thought it would be a nice coincidence. So much for wishful thinking. I am just amazed at how much is different between BMW twins and singles, but...
