March 18, 201510 yr Author Ok. No laughing but i found the problem. The 5 bulbs that go in the binicle were in the wrong order. How stupid do i feel. Ok only i prob now. When i push the start button nothing happens. No movement no sound. Any ideas guys.
March 18, 201510 yr Yip. Get/read a manual and check the wiring If you dont have one let me know and I'll take a picture of the wiring and post it on here
March 18, 201510 yr Author Thanks jimmy. Got a trusty haynes. Im no electrician but working through the electrical diagram.
March 18, 201510 yr Author No. Its just folded up full of crap. It was like that when i bought the bike but it turned over then.
March 18, 201510 yr The PO probably joined the wires, but you may have disturbed them when you pulled it apart for painting
March 19, 201510 yr Author Hi guys, checked all the connections and swopped the wires over on the starter relay and....... wayhay it turned over. Bad news was that after putting laquer on the tank it crazed so had to strip it again. Never mind rome wasnt built in a day. Nice and sunny today too. One of the side panels has a damaged lug clip so will have think of a way to fabricate a repair. Any ideas guys and gals. Stay safe
March 19, 201510 yr Well done...As I say look at your manual. Is the lug still attached, or do you still have it. If so, cut a small v into the crack and using a tiewrap and a soldering bolt fill the v with tiewrap weld http://www.classicbikeforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=321
March 19, 201510 yr Author Top article that jimmy. Given me some good tips. Dont have the snapped off bit so was thinking of making a mould from the lug on the other side panel then using tie wraps, melt them into the mould to form the bit needed then ill weld it on like in that article. Worth a go. Thanks again.
March 19, 201510 yr Moderator I've made lugs with Plastec. You get this silicone putty which when cold is hard, heat it up with boiling water and make a mould from the opposite number. transfer to the broken side and use the powder plastec stuff and let it set. simples
March 20, 201510 yr Author Oh forgot to say. The wife is away for a few days so can bring tank inside to cure in the warm..... while the cats away. Lol
