Still dont see why you believe this to be the case???

normal engineering practice is to pull/push the shaft through the bearing,

I see what your saying Paul, but all the manual states that the right left bearing put in the casing and the right on the crank! I just followed that.

I got a lead for a guy in Bury who may be able to help whether he takes off the bearing and fits it that way, I'm not bothered, so long as the crank is fitted on that side!

cheers for the info

you'll be hard pressed to get this finished for christmas

you'll be surprised, when i get the frame done/painted is just a matter of assembly.

the front end is done, mate has the silver parts for shot blasting, then I can use the scout hut as a paint shop

whether it starts/works or not is another matter though

Think you missed the pun there Drew "bearing in mind the crankcase you'll be hard pressed"

ah never mind!!

Hes slower than a 4 stroke tommy "

Drwewps i"ll find video of the tool, , yeh pull crank thru casing ,,,

I know, it was crap though. thought it best not to mention it

I'll be interested on how it it done John

hERE " I Used a concrete core bit,[ cut down ] to pull the TS250 crank thru, skip to rebuild part of vid,,,

Ah, it all becomes clear now, cheers for that John

yay sorted,

took it round to a guy called Ant, who has a cottage industry in his garage.

took him all of 5 mins with the right tools, even checked my crank for alignment.

cost? FREE, yep gratis

going to send my fz head for him to do as he gas flows heads/valves etc

Brilliant news drew soon be done.

built the bottom end tonight and loose fitted the head and casings for the photo's

just need to clean the little clutch, tighten a few things up, then work out how/where to time the AM6 mag/electronic ignition, sort out squish band etc etc

That head has an awful lot of finning

looking great mate

Looking Good Drew

Yeh thats a "cool" radial finned head,,,,looks like the Maico"s of the 1970"s

take the head off and there's a tiny hole for the piston

anyone know how to identify the mag "point of fire" on these electronic systems. Its an AM6 off a Derbi Senda.

isnt there lines on the rotor and a mark on the casing?

what does the manual say then?
