Strood has drive by shootings.

Yes, but at least it isn't Strood.

Chatham.

I'm having a beer and a cigar.

@Six30 where are you sweetheart?

I'm in the medway towns. Aka gammon central.

A bit of apparel shopping done, I've packed it away so not to leave it on a wall outside the store.

He can read?

All locked up for the night outside the hotel.

The Metro will go down as one of the greatest cars in motoring history.

It will be more of a red card if you get my drift.

That’s true, I will endeavour to gently coerce him into a inclusive and loving situation that may involve a bat and a disused coal mine.

Well it rides well, vibration is back to normal and hot starting is no problem, the hot starting was definitely becoming a problem and is classically caused by the compensator binding up. Will go on a long run tomorrow. I might go down south and rape @Six30.

Aren’t you due a flounce?

Don’t know. Here is a diagram of the old one.

It just seems to be a casting lip, earlier bikes don’t have it.

The old one is springs in a cup and ramps on the cogs, the new one uses a set of eight cushions of two different densities.

How did you guess?

At this point I checked the crank runout, Dark Horse recommend a maximum of .008 of an inch, although that is with the original chain tensioner, mine is .006 so all good either way. I also had the check alignment in case any shims were needed, alignment was perfect without shims. So I put it back together. Ain't it pretty? I will put the case back on in the morning.
