    i think the thread pitch may be fine and not the usual thread for whatever diameter they are...if they arent stripped why change them, they are probably high tensile too! was the nut loose? or just the gap had grown? you have been tinkering with the tensioner and not knowing how its done? perhaps the chain jumped a cog, check the alignment marks again

    greetings agains divster, sure I saw that bike on the camping site at squires, unless someone else has a knobbly front muddie
  11. hard to start/elevated idlet or smoking exaust
  12. could be blocked pilot jets, choking the carb inlet would suck the fuel through the needle jet and so enable running until the inlet obstuction had gone?
  13. same thing happened to me Richard, took a while to figure it out but eventually found the oil pump driveshaft seal had popped out of its seating. I put this down to the overheating issues I was having making the seal soft ? Fitted new seal, bigger jets bla blah blah...never been a problem since
  14. another option is to ask on the aircooledrd club forum http://www.aircooledrdclub.co.uk/forum/default.asp
  15. yeah let us know how you go on maybe you could trawl the cmsnl site to compare numbers?
  16. yeah sounds like the island I live on!
  17. hard to answer any longer, the parts manuals link has been shut down
  18. Greetings loafy, sounds like a great find what's PEI ?
