Just a quick update. On Monday, my new gaskets arrived, and I began reassembling the engine. I've managed to successfully assemble and time the bike, and did so through lining up what I thought to be the correct markings, using advice and my own reasoning. Once timed, I spun the flywheel a handful of times to ensure that the bike was turning over correctly, and that there were no major problems, etc. Everything seemed fine, and so I filled it with oil and it started and ran just fine. That night I taxed and insured it, and now finally on the road.
A big thank you to the people on here for your speedy replies and informative explanations. It is greatly appreciated. Although the entire situation could have been completely avoided with a bit more attention, I got there in the end, and feel much more confident working with engines now!!
Thanks again,
Morgan. |
A happy ending  - hurrah for BCF!
