All is not lossed tho" head and barrel off, light screeves front & back of barrell [ not deep] a hone out tmmoro , and i"v a new piston + rings in shed ,, The reason ?? well the unintentional plug chop says lean[ light-brown] Wot i did notice is the ports[ exhst+inlets] were sharp" not been bevelled after rebore[ previous owner. i"ll sort that out and she"l be roaded by midweek.
May 17, 200915 yr im happy to report my DT has not seized now that ive got the mixture set up a little better, but due to torrential downpours i was forced to retreat into the shed and managed do some work on my ol' Jawa today , stripped front brakes and cleaned them out before bleeding and re-fitting, front brake pads are almost down to the metal!
