Hi Taff,
Yes it's me. Back after several months on not being able to even look at the bloody bike !! The problem I was having at Penn Wood was a duff stator. Got that fixed by Gary Grover and then the kickstart jammed on day 2 of the Welsh 2 day. Bike went back to Gary again who diagnosed a whole side case full of gears from different production years and a clutch basket fitted by Clarkey with a bronze bush that should have had a needle roller !! Got it started again for the first time the other day and it now sounds even worse than ever. Going to run it for a few gentle trail rides and then check the gears for overmeshing and take a little off on the lathe if that is the problem. Was going to sell but I do have some conscience !!
