Small step to help fix the Sprint. Reference the slipping clutch I was told to rebuild the clutch slave cylinder as if it had been neglected it will stick. Known issue with the T300. I stripped it and was pretty disappointed to see it had spotless fluid and was clean. Bugger probably not that then. .
Anyway I had the kit so fitted the new seal and spring and bled it all up with fresh fluid. Appears to be working well but not much hope of it fixing the clutch slip. But we shall see .
As soon as I get the chance the next job is to get the carbs off and sort the tickover out. I’m not sure I need to strip and clean them as the bike is starting fine and running well, it’s just when I went to adjust the tick over knob it detached off the adjustment screw which you just can’t reach with the carbs in situ. So they have got to come off just to put that back together. Absolute pain in the arse. As it was ticking over fine but I messed with it. . I sort of hoping the carbs are fine as everything else on the bike seems to be well looked after but we shall see.
I have a new set of carb rubbers so I will dig into it as soon as I get chance.
A bit of admin required today, needless to say I took the scoot to fly about and get all that shite done which left me time to visit the bike dealers and book the Benelli in for its 7,000 klm service…….12 Jan…….ah well let’s cane the scoot!
……..also had time for some lunch on the quayside.
Well I made a effort, I started the scoot, in the shed ..........been busy repairing the outside door handle on the Dacia, the plastic cover fell off, plastic lugs broke off, wife phoned Dacia dealer for me, but none in stock, and they cannot say how long it would be till one could! arrive, so let's hope Loctite glue works.
