BTW the little S on the gear lever bolt is correct and original

I see i was close then. its the bear costume that gave it away

did you use lots of oil when building the engine? could be it just needs a good run. I'm a bit concerned that mist is pouring from the end cam. This suggests worn bores to me, generating too much crank pressure. the piston rings may have stuck, which a good run will cure. double check oil levels are not too high (overfilled, and which could be gas in the oil from leaky carbs)

that's the beauty of steel and welding, I've got loads of flush (ie snapped) studs out, even 1 was 5 mm inside the alloy. I just built up the weld first, then finished with the nut.

he saw it was a young chap and decided to brow beat him into believing it was his fault. I just wanted to twat the guy, mainly for his attitude.

Paul funny enough was in Warrington last night picking up a PC for my son. do you work at Ikea?

looks like a drill job to me. grind flat first. or if you bottle it, spark erosion! could also try to weld a nut on there (won't stick to ally) and the heat generated may loosen the bolt's grip and allow you to turn the welded on nut!

manuel's in Spain

this chap put full disco all over the bike! More than twin i think, don't you agree?

might have been restored then? you never know

there was, in a chaps cottage he converted a forge i think it was. not there now, in fact all of Combe Martin has changed to Combe Martin retirement village. Only Monicas shop left and all the local characters have all died and replaced with daytime telly watchers!

to the YOC, put any bike problems in classic or workshop sections as that's where most of the help will be.

couldn't find any in Combe Martin. I was prob too fast for him to take a picture. I used to watch Alex Buckingham race his 250 bike as he used to spanner in Ilfracome where I was a butcher. Used to buy my tyres etc from him.

not really. we like airing our opinions

great pics, can you post a link?
