thought I'd finished the bandit, changed the oil, old oil was very thin
replaced rear brake cylinder kit and bled brake, fitted battery and stand spring, so its all in one piece
hit the starter and it makes half an effort and won't run for long, should have cleaned the carbs, it's been stood 8 years and its barely getting warm on 1 and 2,
remove tank, it's very light considering I put a gallon of juice in it last weekend, penny drops, diaphragm on tap is iffy and fuel has drained through into the oil, that's why it was thin
going backwards again, have ordered diaphragm, also silencer clamp is for the Beowulf link pipe not the standard exhaust so it's too small, and there is no stand stop rubber, 5 mins on ebay and they're in the post
have stripped bike enough to start removing carbs.... ____________________ Some people feel the rain, others just get wet. |

Coasted slowly to a halt after the Enfield throttle cable let go right at the nipple. Amal carb, another top quality British Made part, I expect.
+1 for AutoAid. Van Monkey was there within 30 minutes, quick recovery, no up front fees any more, bike was securely tied down and there was even a screen to watch it on. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

... heard the idiotically designed needle clip from my British made Amal carb ting as it sprang loose and hit the garage floor, then spent the best part of an hour crawling around searching for it. I eventually found it a physically impossible distance away from the ting-down site, on the far side of the bike, balanced edge on and practically invisible.
The temptation to throw the stock Indo-Chinese carb back on is fairly strong at this point. ____________________ Biking is 1/20th as dangerous as horse riding.

Some time ago I (foolishly) bought a Chinese headlamp assembly from the bay. At £20 I thought it was good value, ooh, nice and shiny, this should be better than the smaller Stanley mix-match of headlamp which was originally fitted to my lovely grey import. The new lamp was better (how the original passed the MOT God knows, although how the new one did too, also known only to God)
Well, after about a year the lens has lost its lustre and has started to craze and the beam pattern is sh1t. So I have got myself a used Bros lens/reflactor unit, and it is now fitted. What a difference. I had fitted a 60/55 to the Chinky unit to get a better light but it was only brighter but no better a pattern. This one is excellent, reminds me of my Reveres (same light) which were quite good on my nightly return to Oxford from LHR at lots of leptons. So now I can go out at night and get round the bends without staining my underpants.
Some small mods were necessary to fit the Bros unit, spacers for the top & bottom mounts, removal of the silly adjuster assembly from the Chinese rim and a stay made up to keep the unit rigid within the rim. A retaining clip was made for the top, and a nice polished SS M6 buttonhead screw to retain the clip and to slot the tab into at the top of the rim. All nicely tightened up and happy with the result. Considering that a brand new one retails at abolut £150, this one (reflector perfect) was only £16. I am chuffed. ____________________ 82 not out....1983 Honda LA250 Custom

Tried welding nuts to the broken studs. One simply snapped flush with the head and the other couldn't get decent penetration.
Looks like I'm going to have to drill the barstewards |

The correct term for that item, and many others like it, is a "ping-fucket". I believe if you go into any parts supplier, that's what you ask for if you can't find it. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I dug Penelope Pitstop out from 6" of dust and crap in the corner of my garage and wheeled her onto the drive.
I have no idea how long it has been since I took her out or even started her. She's been sorn at least since 2013 when the tax expired.
Brakes were OK, not seized , Front tyre was low, about 5 psi. pumped up
Battery totally fucked so removed and a car battery jumped onto the bike. Fuel pump noise, dash lights, turning over and fired. Pretty rough and missing a bit but it's old fuel. Will get some new tomorrow and fire it up properly.
Then I've got to decide what to do with the old girl as I need the space.
