  6. check the starter gear where it connects to the clutch basket mine was loose Also the oil pump drive behind the clutch basket gets a bit worn and a leyland mini door pin sorts that out. do a search on the site for the mod.

    onwards and Upwards. When you put your soul into something, it does make a sad day when circumstances say you have to sell it.

    I cycled as my only means of transport for 5 years. this was the same route Captf does now. the biggest issue were cars speeding past me an inch from my handle bars, a few have had their cars whacked (if they got that close for me to reach they are too close at those speeds) never had an accident though and am quite road savvy.
  13. latest episode...mysteries deepen
  14. take it to a rolling road, there's no magic panacea we can offer, each bike behaves differently. why are they so expensive? usually about £40

    be careful bumping some bikes (triumph), it kills the starter clutch, even with a sluggish battery because of kickback
  20. heat shrink will eventually close up and kill the engine, might be funny or it might go tits up pulling out of a junction!!

    I do like Henry Cole and Sam whotshisname so this looks interesting http://www.radiotimes.com/episode/dhhc8s/shed-and-buried--series-1---episode-2
  22. no probs, battery is still charging and optimate says there's no sulphating so it may just need a good charge
  23. that's a bummer, i've welded nuts with flush studs but never recessed

    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
