  1. This thread is like a Christmas quiz.....................................guess the fault with limited clues, a bit like "guess who". My turn...................................................................... Is the plug (I don't know if it is the old one or not) wet with petrol when you push the bike?
  2. Fleabay for a cylinder (or see above). A threaded stud with a little red high strength thread lock would possibly bodge it.

    cold cylinder

    The spark to the front cylinder. Plug, HT lead ect.
  4. Valve clearance (cold): Intake valve 0.05 to 0.09 mm Exhaust valve 0.11 to 0.15 mm Take out the spark plug. Remove the 2 inspection covers at the top of the engine - the tappets are behind these. On the left hand side of the lower engine there are 2 circular inspection covers. These have slots in them to allow them to be unscrewed. One in the center of the casting and one above it. Undo both of these. The center cover should reveal the bolt on the end of the crank. You need to get a socket in here to manually turn the engine (anticlockwise). Turn the engine until in the smaller inspection hole the pointed is aligned with a mark on the part that is turning. When these marks aligned, adjust the tappets as above. When you are turning the crank, both the tappets should be moving.
  5. Hi and welcome to the forum.
  6. True. Unfortunatly, somewhere along the UK's history, we gave thick people the right to vote. It has ruined the country.

    Merry Christmas

    Don't you believe it John. When Spring comes and you ride around those mainly uncluttered roads with the views you get in Scotland you will soon remember the benefits.

    Merry Christmas

    A very merry Christmas from me too. Turkey, gammon, beef, smoked salmon and sprouts brought this morning. Cheeses all in the fridge and the Christmas "table of joy" - all the tins of sweets, biscuits cakes pickles and condiments - already flowing over. No booze in the house except what is in the Christmas cake as I don't tend to drink (Squires was the last time i had any alcohol). All presents brought and wrapped and only 2 cards left to write.
  11. Just buy a pre January 1960 frame. No tax or MOT required anymore.
  12. Socks and pants............. It is times like this that I miss my dear old nan. Riding with clean underwear should be in the highway code.
  13. Only a little,but keep it to yourself please.
  14. Sniff, you haven't mentioned my paper cut!
  15. I had a paper cut once. BTW, the video is a ruse.
