Hi All
The photo's just for the sake of finding out how to upload piccies. A forum I used years ago didn't have obvious instructions for uploading photos, and the members just said unhelpful things like: "It just happens". Yeah, right.
lol
Anyway I should introduce myself. Heff is the name I go by, and my Wife and I have a business taking people on runs in our two Urals.
I am the proud owner of a 2021 GU which I bought brand new, and a 2011 Tourist, which I've replaced about 75% of, since buying it about two and a half years ago.
Lately, it's been running rough as guts, burning heaps of petrol, and feels like it has more top end, but can't quite get there. I have had it hit 120 kmh up a gentle motorway gradient, with two overweight bodies aboard. However, a series of malfunctions have had me replacing the cylinder heads, rebuilding the carbies, replacing the entire ignition system, and, and, and. Well, you get the picture.
The latest issue was with the gearbox, which seemed to be engaged in both 1st and reverse gear at the same time. I sent the box away, as I wasn't confident in my abilities to fix the issue. (I did, however, rectify the usual neutral light switch issue, which has left me smugly smiling!)
On receiving the gearbox back from Ural Australia, I re-assembled the bike. While waiting for it's return, I cleaned the air filter, (K&N) replaced engine oil and filter and sparkers. The engine ran like a pregnant sow in mud. Gutless. I've checked valve timing and gaps. I've checked the carbies (set to factory). I spent a lot of effort setting idle speed via fuel mixture, timing marks on the flywheel and throttle cable and throttle stop settings. The thing won't go above 70 kmh on the flat, and is struggling to get there.
I can't find ignition timing instructions for anything after 2006, and those bikes have an almost totally different system.
Any ideas/suggestions? And I can't find a mug to sell it to, until I can get the bluddy thing to run. (Not selling: I love the old girl, and Wife and Son would kill me slowly).
