Fit new stainless Allen screws to stop them rusting in the future with some copperslip on the threads. Not sure as to what you mean regarding the throttle?

[Fux]

My throttle cable is open ended, not sure what to secure it with at the handlebar that fits in the round indentation on the square sliding block.

The inner needs a small soldered nipple like a Ser3 choke cable end(the one that fits the plunger). Then either solder a barrel on the carb end or fit a screw type one.

[Fux]

Ahh. I see. Another thing on the to do list but I'm pretty sure my carb has to utilise the small nippel as the cable fits in the slide.

I ordered parts from Rimini late Monday night and they were already on my doorstep today. Impressive. They are just as fast as mb are.

I have now rebuilt the engine. New everything really, kick start washer and bushings, magneto house, bearings, seals,gearbox, 3 plate clutch,casa crank...

One little niggle though. I bought the long chain so I can fit the new larger front sprocket and no way will it fit

So at a guess, I'm betting the 47 tooth clutch isn't the standard size? I wonder what the upgear gears and 13-47 sprockets will be like?

Next up is overhauling the fork. I have a feeling that it's another job that isn't as straightforward as it first looks.

Iv`e been spending my evenings rubbing the paint and it looking a lot better.

The Fork is off and I have changed the springs, rods, balls and link bushes.

These are a lot more exposed than in other lammies so I wonder if its wise not to cover them in greese and maybe just greese the balls?

What do the others do ?

Hi again, just as a side issue over on the L.O.C the Admin (Pete) has created a email address to contact him direct. I thought it might get you a way to join up. Good luck.

[Fux]

Thank you!

Went for a long ride today, it rides realy well and like clockwork.

Gearing down from third to second is a bit hit or miss so I will fit a new sliding dog on monday.

It goes about 60km/h on the flat but its awfull (I`m still giggeling mind), on the hills. The steepest hill behind my house I could only crawl in 1st @15km/h. I can cycle faster!

So I will be changing the primary to 47-13, its now 48-11 and I will be looking for ways to give it a little more grunt in the hills. I might have to bite the bullet and fit another pipe.

[Fux]

Is there some quick modification that can be made so that it is actually possible to use the inne gear adjuster?

What a balls ache. I`m almost considering taking off my rear wheel to be able to get to it!

[Fux]

Right, sorted my timing yesterday and burnt some crap out of my pipe and now it goes a little faster but I`m sure im missing a little hp in the hills, although I can now hold second.

I am going to fit a new larger front sprocket and chain when that turns up on monday and also fit the new sliding dog.

I have also got hold of a lui rear light because the one I have on at the mo is falling to bits and has the wrong lens.

I would like to tidy up the ay my numberplate sits and wonder if anyone knows how this fits?
