I'll be interested on how it it done John

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

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

the 400 engine will slot straight in, the brakes are the same throughout the range I'm afraid. just need to make sure that they are either points or electronic ignition engines, although you can convert if you search this forum.

Being DOHC, I would think you would be a ble to do it as when the cams are out there would be enough chain slack to tie up. I'd suggest getting a manual. I know that haynes never did one so it would have to be an original Yam one. I'm sure they are out there somewhere.

I just checked the date and I'm camping that weekend argggggg! There s a Blackpool show though and AFAIK Darley Moor is still on

centre stripe is painted. The only decals are the numbers and the tank text. Aha! finally got that oil leak sorted. went out tonight on the motorway and its dry, DRY I tell ya!!

your banned

very funny

Percussive Maintenance, we've all done it

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

Eccles meself and up.yours is a Boltonian if you have any issues or a part, I have amassed a fair amount I can sell you cheap

it is on the Gilera as per Gilera manual one side the bearing is in the case and the other is on the crank, looks like it pulls the crank through

do you have a picture as I can't visualise it.

Dave.

I thought I was your legendary rider tommy?

try a bit of choke and see if it helps. Its not really a choke but an enrichment device so your adding fuel.# could be that the carbs need cleaning as with all old bikes

welcome trodd, local lad too. where a bouts in mancunia?

white wires are the output from the alternator to the rectifier, doesn't matter which way they are as they all output the same! if you have a manual the wiring diagram should give you the info.
