Anyone got an unwanted starter ring for a 210 solo ,or a link

Not shure weather this forum is the right forum to post this kinda thing on,so take from it what you will.Whilst taking a friend to hospital for a routine appointment,my pap trike which lives in the van (hanger) decided it wanted to start.I had placed the old brake type hand throttle somewhere on the net or swingarm ,and it slipped off and landed on the van floor on the starter button ,and thats where it stayed untill i could pull over and kill it,Being an inverted engine i always take the plug out,and its as well i did .I should have dissconected the battery and depressed the isolating switch but didnt .She was turning over for a good 2 minutes ,it sounded really sweet .I admit to being a nob .

Can anyone recommend a compact CHT gauge for a PAP top 80 .dont want to blow it up now i have got this far

Yea looking at it,its either central or offset the carb side.i now seem to think as Neilzy says it could be to do with cooling the exhaust side or to keep the head away from none universal heat.coming off the exhaust,just a guess Mmm

It must have been a stupid question i guess!!

the cylinder head on a top 80 goes on both ways, but one way the cooling fins are offset,is there a reason for this,or dose it not matter .If there is a reason can someone tell me why.

Plug cap off

Just got timing setup got TDC then turned the flywheel anticlockwise 090 on the dial gauge set the leading edge of the coil 14mm ahead of the leading magnet with a scribe not a felt tip pen and when i pull it over its as if it is compressing twice ,i even doubled up on the base gasket thinking it could be that ,tried it with the plugcap off and gearbox off,no luck. Question could the magnet have any influence on this hard pull ,i welcome any thoughts ,i am considering letting Miniplane have a look at it I have run out things i can try.

Ok guy,s who wants to sort this shit out for me,i have had a gutts full now.there is not 1 mm of coil i havent used to try and set the swine,even tried turning the B-------d round

I have set it using the approx 1mm BTDC and it started ,but guess wot my socket loaded cordless drill pun it up it started the engine speed overtook the speed of the socket and undone the nut and the flywheel slipped now hows about that.It looks as if its all got to go back together with pullstart .defo going to try and adapt flash drive ,flywheel has got 3 holes thats a good start,thanks for the help guys

I have tried to contact Green dragons who originaly suplied this machine ,to be honest it would b eaiser to break into the whitehouse with a zillion numbers to ring and no one answering. i found a number on the seatboars 35 and number 3D06 ,i have also noticed its a grease filled gearbox so trying to pin it down to a date year so i can set the squeeeez on the piston,greatful for any help.

Something shady going on here,would not expect to see that wen i take a plug out.looks like oxidation being ali .

Your being funny now,i have been told to ignore shadows,wish people would make up there mind.

How do i determin what thickness gasket has to go back ,I have 5 gaskets a 1 o ring the only number on the engine is 3D06 i guess thats what i go by to get the right sqose along with the toque settings ,can anyone give me a few pointers it will save me going through reams of litrature cheers.

Not really a laughing matter i think i have found the problem ,i am using an old cloth mesuring tape that my sister uses for dress making and i think it may have stretched
