Re: 26 years later

And the good news toay is I got a new V5C back from DVLA. Although it was off the road for nigh on 30 years they still recognised the registration as assigned to my scooter. So change of colour, cc, address and all is good. Upwards and onwards. Thanks for the kind words.

Re: 26 years later

Thanks - was a bit worried because it wouldn't stall when I blocked the exhaust. Quite a bit of black stuff coming out of exhaust slip joints, so I've re-assembled the exhaust with copper silicon. Engine now stalls when i block the exhaust, so I think I now need just to burn off the assembly oil and...

Re: 26 years later

Cheers Robbie -- It's fixed but I didn't want to weld because it had all been painted. I fixed it in place with JB weld, then drilled and tapped it. Put a couple of bolts in then remove as much metal as I could - then touched up. It looked Ok, but is now hidden anyway. So all good.

Re: 26 years later

Looking really good. Just a question about the three hole engine mounts- I was lead to believe these are mounted with the bottom hole at 6 o'clock? Sure I read that somewhere? Hmmmm.. I should have come back to this sooner. Occupied with other things. From what I read you're right. Camlam put these...

Inlet Manifold - problem!

I seem to be having problems with every bit I try to assemble on my build - getting a bit tedious to say the least. Anyway -- I built my engine and when doing so I sealed the inlet manifold with a silicon gasket. Engine is now back on the frame, and when I was looking at the carb I notice that the d...

Re: bgm/mb clubman exhaust

A few daft questions if I may The bracket that's shown in the pics under the casing -- where does this go / what is this used for. Doesn't seem to be doing anything in the pics above and I can't see where it goes on mine??? :? Do the joints go together just dry or is any kind of joint compound, fire...
