At Boston Bike Bits we restore bikes, build bikes, play with cars and avoid work at all costs. We believe that proper jobs are for lunatics and that the path to true happiness comes from being idle. Why buy designer perfumes when 2 stroke smoke and wd40 are so much cheaper? Our altar is filled with petrol - proper leaded stuff, none of this ethanol nonsense.

this was to be my daily driver but the engine blew after I had driven it just 80 miles. I had no other choice than to break it if I am to get some of my money back. Its a lot of work but hopefully it will pay off.

I have the same code, as well as P2425, i have checked both the auxilliary coolant pumps that supply the EGR cooler and both seem to be working, I did change the EGR cooler a while back but worked ok for a few months, now i just cant clear the check injection and then after 20 miles check emissions, any thoughts, could the egr cooler be airlocked?. nearing the end of my tether,
I bet you its an air lock same as I had. Open up that air bleed valve, a load of air should come out and your problem will be solved. The valve is very hard to see and to get at but it is there.
Just as an update on this it turned out to be a bit more flexible than I had hoped for. I ended up strengthening the whole area significantly with rather large 4mm thick steel plates that covered teh whole area. It made it all look much neater and removed any trace of flexing.
Just to be clear I had already identified that there was oil pressure by measuring the resistance at the sender - 250 ohms without the engine running, 70 ohms with. Never, ever run an engine if you think there is no oil pressure, you can destroy an engine very quickly. The fault in my case was a bent pin on a connector, I had straightened it before this test, I am now showing very good pressure, it's a brand new high pressure pump from a Buick Grand National.
B. Occelli is Bernard Occelli, a French co driver that worked with Didier Auriol for many years. On further inspection everything was a lot simpler than we thought, the bias control in the car was connected via a cable to the mechanical adjuster on the brake box. New pads are needed for the rear, all 4 show signs of being seriously over heated. The front discs are both scored, one much worse than the other but not so bad as to need immediate replacement. The car does not compete any more so we are not looking to win races with it. The oil leak was actually a couple of small leaks, a bit of tightening here and there was all that was needed. I am glad I spotted a loose nut on the rear suspension as every single nut in that area was barely hand tight.
Sorry my finger was in the way for half of this video, didn't realise until I uploaded it.
Contact no plz

non OEM panels thats why no ninja stickers on rear panel no heat shelds panels will just melt under the heat .
I know that Red Imp since it was a donor to the race car, fond memories
The Broadspeed minis were fairly well known even at Lemans if I'm not mistaken. This would as quick as my 2004 JCW Mini---maybe more even.
I have a JCW myself - a 2008 tuned to about 220 bhp. I would say the Anglia is about the same in terms of performance, maybe the mini has the edge. The Anglia is incredibly light, both cars are rather noisy but the Anglia definitely out shouts the Mini.
Hi very interesting video just for info the gearbox is a 2000E not a type 9 which is a much later 5 speed gearbox made for the Sierra. If yours is a 5 speed it is incredibly rare as you said made by Hewland and marketed through Wooler it was a very close ratio box dog engagement and direct top whereas the type 9 five speed was overdrive 5th hope this helps.
Hi, I always thought the sierra used an MT75. This box is definitely a 4 speed close ratio, having checked with google it appears you are right - it is a 2000e but with different internals. Cheers,
I’ve still got mine 😊.. happy days .. it’s capable
i have a speed four and its running a bit rich..so, do u recomend any good map for that bike?
Sorry, I have never had a speed 4 so no experience with them.
@@bostonbikebits6539 ok man.. but were can i find a map for my bike.. i dont have ecutune or anything.. even if i did, i dont know what map should i put.. were did u get your map?
Had one identical, it got knocked over in a carpark and written off, bummer! Bought another this time 95' D3 metallic green 💚 hadit for years now. Gidday from Australia 🇦🇺
Having fun (again), Dave 😉😉😉 …
As always, living the dream.
That second sparking plug on each cylinder needs a high tensile wire mate!
it's a dual plug head, the outer, original plugs are used to start the engine and get it warm. The leads are then moved to the racing ones in the centers of the heads. Because the flame front then starts from the middle of the head and spreads outwards it has the same effect as advancing the ignition approx 8 degrees. The bike runs on methanol so runs a lot more advance than if it were on petrol, the timing is fixed at 44 degrees btdc.
Superb sound but watch out for the turbo when turning off the engine after high speed 😉
Awesome! I’d call that a win for now! 🏆
I’d leave the paint… it’s only original once so they say… I’d definately remake the Perspex for the nose cone though in it’s original style.
I have the perspex ready for that. Been watching videos to see the best way to form it. Going to make sure it runs ok first.
@@bostonbikebits6539 I’d have thought thin Perspex like that would have enough bend in it to not require forming. Watching with much interest. Your bike came up for sale not long after I’d bought mine… 😫
😍
Is the motor on the wrong side too
Does this give you an error code
No error code, it just won't start if the sprag is faulty. The error codes on the ducati are fairly limited and just really cover the basic injection, ignition and immobiliser codes from what I remember.
Nice bike!
Thanks!
It cur out at the end because it had run out of fuel. It seems to use quite a bit, I think that was normal on 2 strokes of this era.

A great machine. I have one unrestored.
They really are a lovely bike, beautifully engineered and full of character. Finding parts is the hard bit though, I have managed to get some parts, I am going to have to make quite a few. I have lots of photographs of a number of examples, it looks like they could originally be purchased with several things optional ie the rear seat and the speedo. Best of luck with your restoration, I would love to see any photos or video that you have. Dave.
Sorry about the audio, there is no bulkhead between the engine and the passenger compartment, the exhaust is just a short length of pipe. It is incredibly loud in there, so loud that the mic is in full time distortion. There's no room for a dog or any shopping bags in there, it has no air conditioning, it is not suitable for the daily drive to the office.
I’ve commented on your blog but incase you don’t see it Hi there I think I can help you with the rear foot peg hangar I have a spare tt600 as a back up which you can have. I was hoping to get some directions on getting the file for the remap if it’s possible. Kind regards james
Did you get it fixed? Thinking to buy it
Nope, never got it fixed, got no help whatsoever from either the seller or the manufacturer. They wouldn't let me have spares, would not supply the circuit diagram, just basically ignored any request for help. Definitely go elsewhere if you can.
@@bostonbikebits6539 That sucks.. Was looking at this just for a cheap option till can afford to get a Premium setup. Did you do anything with the Inverter yet? Would you be willing to give it away or sell for Cheap? I would love to tear into it & see if it can be Fixed.
I have the 5000 watt model pure sine wave. 1 st time using it to power a vacuum the audible alarm sounded. Now no power. Looking into it. Fuse possibly. No display unit went dark. Not happy at all!!!🤬vevor brand
How can I "reset" this. What buttons do I press?
Hey guys does anyone here knows where i could find body parts for my TT i'm searching for 2 years..
Hi did this ever sell feller ?
Hi there, it went within a couple of hours of me putting this video up .I have never seen it around though so no idea what happened to it.
I wish there was more support for this bike. Parts are scarce.
Very true - rear footpeg hangers were impossible to find, as are all the plastic parts. They are still a great bike though and there don't seem to be that many around now. Round here there are loads of street triples but I can't remember the last time I saw another tt on the road.
You and your cunning plans 😂
Great oil pressure, sounds sweet.
It had been rebuilt by the late David Sutton so we know it had been done properly.Lots more videos to follow.
My mate Malcolm bought this car at auction, we are now in the process of a restoration but wanted to know if the engine was good or not. The full story along with many other such adventures is on my blog at www.mechanicalmarvels.co.uk
