Looks like me sump leak is back again albeit a tiny amount while the bike is static, i think it's actually coming from the centre front bolt, same place as before so, now i'm thinking maybe i need to helicoil the bugger, or the sump is banana !! but it can wait until i'm ready to change oil over now, just have to keep an eye on me level, can i buy a litre of running in oil i wonder..

 

Weather this week and the Royal Snail is holding me up once again, took a month for me Venhill lines to get here waiting on reg/rec connectors, overdue and other small bits....

Quote:Looking good Dabs! We all know the Mk2a is by far the superior model of the whole lot but I still recon the Mk1 is the better looking bike, sometimes you just have to comprimise between looks and piss poor engineering.......

Quote:Update long overdue eh....

 

Well works a pain in the arse, sunny when i'm working and then pisses down for the most part when i'm off, neighbours had all the fences out to be replaced, rock faces and paving slabs getting lifted and cut, sand and cement getting mixed, wood being cut and a new roof getting put up behind us, so along with the ever present wind we have here i aint been up to much at all, plus me stamina has gone on holiday since Covid... so that's the excuses all out the way...

 

Gave Gerty a blert up and down the road a couple of times to make sure she worked, needed a bit of choke which is making her a bit to rich but then i'll adjustments to make anyhoo but did 1 mile    and seems okay.

 

Got around to dropping the sump on Friday to seal it again without all the above shenanigans going on, this time i've sealed it with Loctite 5990 sans gasket and left it to go off, refilled with oil today and kicked her over briefly, so far so good, fingers crossed..

 

I had hoped to have her all ready by the end of the day for an mot on Friday but noticed today that the handle bars stays are a bit loose for some reason so will have to check that out after work, yep that's Friday and then the weathers shit next week when i'm off so fook knows !? but the long slog, boy has it been a long long long slog, is very near completion.....yes nearly, belly pan to go on when i'm sure it aint leaking from the sump anymore and the oiler needs setting up.

 

So for your perusal and enjoyment the following..
