do you run an inline fuel filter? sounds like your getting crap in the carb

if your not speaking, get your dad to write it down instead!! seriously its not OCC and life's too short!

door mat, no cold callers welcome

naff all, its been too quiet. even talking of ghosts now

wonder whose it could be?

hallo Wigan.

wasn't that bad going home as i took the roads instead of the motorway. I'll drop the oil and clean the screen/replace the oil filter, if I ever get my oil from opies!! (another topic)

met up with Airhead today and the rains started 15 mins before the show ended. luckily it was inside but going home I got a little wet, but nearer Manchester it was dry all the way home so no soaking after all! oil pressure gauge caused me a few palpitations as the pressure eventually dropped to zero. Checked the oil level and it was fine, but engine was really hot. carried on and I think the gauge has bitten the dust not sure on Paul's ride home though

It features in this months classic bike £22k

thunderchild, that's the ship that got ULLLAAHHH'd in Jeff wayne's War of the Worlds

Sunday is just the AGM though

damn that looks good, I want a go

Airhead usually goes to this and its this Sunday 12 noon http://www.stalybridgemotorcycleclub.co.uk/bikeshow.php

I'm exactly of the same opinion Merv. I now buy classic bike instead

amazing talent, for wasting my time

but as Sach says post in the workshop and tell us everything you have done to cure it including what the symptoms are.

always bore to the piston ie get the piston first and give to the borer. Each piston has slightly different sizes and need to be matched. I don't know the clearances and they will be different with each manufacturer's pistons as it depends how much silicate they used in the alloy. you used to be able get an overbore gasket kit, but I haven't seen these for donkeys years!

make sure you take the spray bar out, they have little holes which clog. the pilot system is very sensitive too!

I did my own honing and you can get different lengths of hone stone. any engineering shop would be glad of your business. I use western rebores on Oldham road and always take my parts with me and he's happy just to the the machining.

you did

A series engine? great vid
