Fitting Podtronics on the T140e with Simon. Spent several hours taking it apart, and reading the manual. Assembling went okay, but we could not start the T140 - returning tomorrow night after a long night.
Thursday 2nd May 2019
Another night, well I am embarrased to say it was the kill switch. Shoes that the bike is putting out 14V at all revs, an awful lot more was being put out.
Saturday 4th May 2019
Couldn't start the T140, put fuel down the plug hole. Started eventually. Same symptons as at Simons. Plugs not wet pured fuel down and bingo it eventually started. Then onto the C15, and fitted the tank on a solid connection for the first time. Just need a side panel back so i can ride it. Currently at KDS for powder coating black. Hailstones prevented further work. T140 needs fuel

Started the T140 - phew, then went onto trying to sort the Bantam B175 rear brake. Will work on that Monday. Took the C15 out - noticed on Returning that the tank badge was about to fall off. Grrrr.

Started the c15 oil change, did the tank only. 645 miles regsitered on the indian speedo. Then sorted the B175 brake arm, then onto fixing the start on the side plate. I need a 3mm drill.
