drewpy

that was what you call an armchair thriller!!

could be only firing one one cylinder and the backfire is unburned fuel igniting and then working. I suggest a tune up of ignition/timing drewps

if you can read the international bearing reference on your old bearings, get them from a local bearing stockists. don't forget there is a mushroom spacer on the side of one bearing which needs to be drifted out!! part # 93306-30417 = b6304z part # 93306-30309 = b6303z

just a heads up, I got OT and poss Len from Warrington going to stafford. up.yours, want to meet in eccles? any one interested in going or poss meet down there? OG you going and meet @ little chef? its this Sat I'm going down to arrive @ stafford circa 10 am

that "stopper" seals the oil within the rocker arm shaft, it seals when the points cover is put on properly

done that,its soda crystals with an annode of stainless steel. you hook up a car battery charger and depending how immersed the annode is the more current flows. the part is either made positive or neg, (can't remember which) cleans off the rust really good

first you need a 10mm box spanner and a philips screwdriver. the locknut on the clutch adjuster needs to be undone with the box spanner then the screwdriver can be fed through the box spanner and turned clockwise till it lightly stops, then back it off 1/4 turn. holding the screwdriver still, tighten the box spanner/lock nut up, done at the clutch lever there should be 3 - 5mm "slack" in the cable drewps

rs paints spings to mind, but they are not cheap

earthing on starter button or faulty solinoid

if you are on points, disconnect the charging circuit and start bike (it will run loss less) then you need to check the charging circuit for earthing if it runs. running cdi with out charging circuit fry's the box!!
