Re: Gearbox locked after rebuild

Cheers Gary, gonna go for a strip out of whole gb including bearing. I'll try another combination of different layshaft, bearing and endplate, as gearbox is sfiff as f'''', even with a 1.6 shim. Maybe its due to using a new SIL gp 200 gb and an endplate with a new bush?

Re: Gearbox locked after rebuild

Having tried to see where the kickstart shaft is hitting the clutch ( covered it in marking blue) and found no marks, I have rebuilt the kickstart mechanism, found bushes protruding and corrected, re-shimmed etc. Still Jammed :? .

Re: Gearbox locked after rebuild

Took the decision to remake the kickstart mech and noticed the inner bush was a little proud, so ive fixed that and will try again when I'm back in the g...

Got a SIL 200 block, to swap in my 150. Rebuilt it, problem is the kickstart is jammed solid.

PX frame prep, blast or dip?

I've had both done in the past, but unsure about my latest project, a px. Main worry is inside floor struts and frame rusting after paint, what you reckon?

Question is are there any upgrades I should consider, like I said stock ish. It'll need a new crank and top end. Is it worth fitting a 125 top gear or a cosa c...
