    Too bad for him he didn't practice shaolin iron crotch. (Not really funny though poor guy)

    Got the parts. And I paid for a set of crank bearings and labor so they better have replaced them. I am gladly done dealing with those yahoos now. I'll be happy to go it alone... well, not really alone because it'll be with plenty help from all you YOC folk I'm sure!
  4. LMFAO!

    Hey Dave! Hope SL,UT is treating you well. No, they didn't sort the magneto... but I did get all my bits back tonight. So I'll have to find a coil and I also noticed the flywheel nut and washer are missing... and I don't see them on the parts breakdown anywhere. ?? looks like I've got work to do!

    I've also heard of using french chalk instead of the soap. Not sure what makes it french... but I think it's just talcum powder. ??

    Well, here's the story with the motor... I took the motor to the shop and asked them to check it out. I knew the crank seals needed replacing (since the L/H one had dried up and fallen out) and the coil needed sorting. Guy took a look at it and we spoke over the phone. He said they could do the crank seals and gaskets, have the cylinder bored and do a one over piston and rings. So he would do all that as well as clean and adjust the points. He said the crank bearings felt good so he wouldn't need to split the case. So later I find out that the case is broken where the shift lever shaft sits. Seeing how I didn't want to use my original case as a replacement, and the ones on ebay are evidently worth a fortune, he said he'd try to weld it. If he didn't think it would hold up he'd let me know. (Much) Later I got word the motor was done. Here's what was done: barrel bored and cleaned, new piston and rings, new crank bearings and seals, and new gaskets. edit - and the case welded. But when I went to pick it up today, it's now missing the magneto, the oil pump cover, and both the kick start and shift levers. I know I took all of it to them. Everything was in a box when I dropped it off. And why would he tell me he'd clean and adjust the points if he didn't even have them?! How was he supposed to check out the magneto (like I asked) if he didn't have it? I'm seriously so disappointed at this point. I'm calling him Monday to tell him he needs to find my missing parts (because they aren't at home!), and I'm never doing business with these guys again... I'll adjust the points myself, otherwise I may never get it back. But wait, there's another story! I took my wheels to the same place to relace the spokes and get new tires. $400 later I got the wheels back and changed out the bearings and seals. I mounted them and they were wobbly. I took them back and asked them to check the runout again because I couldn't think of anything I could have done to create the wobble. ?? He called me and told me that the rims had flat spots, but he got them "better than they were". Um, if the rims were bad why in the hell did he lace new spokes?! At least, that's what I asked myself. I thought they would tell you something like that. ?? They must really be getting a good laugh at my expense. so déjà vu my bike is back to rolling chassis (I swear I get one step ahead and then have to go back two spaces)

    Took a jog round the park in the freezing cold and rain. Then went to run statistics at the uni computer lab. I know... fun stuff ya? Then I went to pick up my motor and wheels... and was seriously disappointed. Mounted my wheels (for the second time)... more info to come in my project thread. ...and then off to watch children of the corn with hubby.
  21. the red is beautiful. staying tuned to seeing the finished product.
