ICU-check your heat sink contact

[neil p]

my ´91 para fried its (probably original) telefunken ICU because after 20 years there was no heat transfer paste/grease.

admittedly 20 hot Spanish summers, but still worth checking watever your riding conditions.

especially when a new one is 50 quid, and the kickstart version (impossible without it) 100 GBP......

fortunately James Sherlock sorted me out with a used kickstart unit for 20 pounds

Does the kickstert model need a specific Ignition unit then ? Would a 1993 para 100 GS PD, which has a kickstart as standard, be fitted with the "kickstart" version as OE ?

Were there any warning symptoms before it failed , or did it just fail ?

Thanks, and don't mean to hi-jack your post, but thought it was pretty relevant !

Yup, separate units.........

 

[bumpmuncher]

these guys list a replacement unit for the airhead Intermotor Dont know if it will allow the kickstart to work though

Hi there,
i have a 94 para with kickstart and as you state its not possible to start the old girl up using that method. Could you please advise on what the correct telefunken ICU is as i would love to hear her come to life with a prod on the kickstarter. I hope all of you are enjoying the summer now that it is officially here for as much as i like riding the bike all year round it is even more rewarding on summer days. Stay between the hedges, Stash.

Look at the serial numbers in my photo above..one is for the kick start and the other just electric thumb start ( can't remember which is which - been on the gin tonight ).
Simple ( expensive ) swop...and you don't kick but just gently prod the kick start ( and if she hasn't fired up after about four goes, then press the starter button )

I walked into Maplins yesterday asking for a tube of heatsink compound, the chap just looked at me like I was from another planet

No sorry sir we don't do that

Yes you do it is in your catalogue and on your website

Ohhhh okay I will check.

Whilst he is checking I turn around and there are about 20 tubes of the stuff on the shelve right behind me I pick one up only to turn around and him going, sorry sir we are all out of stock

No you not numpty there is a whole fekin rack full of the stuff

Will see if I can clean and service the one that I think is giving a bit of trouble suddenly this weekend
