Catteeclan Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Clamping the pipe off is a good way of clearing air if you're still on rubber hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Posted 16 hours ago Author Share Posted 16 hours ago It lives !! Rode it down to the village and back, only about a mile but I live at the top of a long steep hill and didnt want to have to push the thing too far if it did crap out. Smokes like a bitch, but I think it's from being on the side stand for a while - illogically that puts the crank case above the head, so oil seeps to the top of the engine. Ive ordered a right hand side stand for it. Its a heavy bike and the original side stand allows the bike to lean over at a really steep angle - make me nervous seeing it like that so hopefully the new right hand stand will give it a more upright position ... otherwise I will have to adapt it so it does. Still need to fiddle with the rev counter, it's a bit jumpy so will experiment with where the input comes from. Also need to get the gas gauge to work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nute Posted 1 hour ago Author Share Posted 1 hour ago Felt fine when I rode it. Stops reasonably well considering its age. I know the right mirror is missing, couldn’t be bothered to refit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
