Bad luck but at least you are not smacked up. I just om’d you.
Good hunting John

I used to have a C15 back in 1975. You could bowl along the backroad via Ashton Keynes and Siddington to Peter Hammonds and get a kickstart return spring. Then stop in a pub for a pint and a pork pie.

Stop it ! Get those parsnips peeled.
I managed 45 mins in the garage early today… but I think I got away with it.

I am not much of an engineer as anyone who knows me will attest but drilling holes is not that bad. I bought a batch of 0.8mm bits ( they are fairly easy to break). My Dremel clone has a clone chuck which can accept these bits . No point in spending money! I made a drilling guide from a cube of wood...

On the other hand round carb slides don’t wear as quickly as flat slides. My Sport has standard everything fuel wise apart from Sito silencers and has never had a flat spot except for a rear tyre once.

Those items are subject to wear as you say. Other things to verify are working correctly include float height, float needles, choke piston ends as the seal eventually degrades) And of course you can check HT leads, caps, spark plugs and ignition timing. Apparently many men slope off to the garage on...

My problem is that for me I need to undertake a procedure myself so that I can understand it, rather than simply reading about it.Somewhat ironic really as in the latter stages of my employment, writing or reviewing Standard Operating Procedures took up a lot of my time.

Good to hear you have sorted the coil. Are there any companies left providing this service or are we now reliant on helpful club members?

Better by half than my knackered and JB Welded Sitos

My badge was gold /black. I got the brightest gold I could find but it is noti a patch on an original. Good enough for me though. I have seen better chrome paints but VERY expensive, e.g. EasyChrome or https://www.stardustcolors.co.uk/chrome-paint/1229-brush-on-chrome-chrome-paint-using-brush-370073...

Glad it worked out. I need to change the one on my Sport soon.

This must be the only time I am glad to have a rear disc brake.

I have two bikes, on B and one C, the latter can be noisy ( if too tight) so a bit of pot luck.

Good to see this, I had forgotten about Barleycorn. Any issues with switchgear looms? I am not creaking yet but the road surfaces are and leaning forward is not ideal.

Blessed as I am with both types of choke I find I start either bike from cold but quickly close them and set off.On my Sport I only flip one choke lever. On the cable choke again its only for cold start. Either way it’s only for no more than 20 seconds at the most. Gentle riding until warm though. M...
