The answer is in three parts:
1. Some do.
2. Others have them rotate skyward.
3. Those that have removed their indicators do not have this problem.

Yes, they are very rude, sticking their tongues out and making suggestive gesticulations. Should be good though...

Done skippy, and after last night I think I'll give up too...

Oops, we will let you have them this time, beer waiting for any Oz cricket fans who would care to watch me swallow my pride...then there is the rugby world cup!

Nope. Will need to be butt welded or a fillet and overlap. Having a flange makes it stronger...how about a piece of trim over it?

If the foam survives, would you let us know what sort of foam it was please? (Whenever I stick foam anywhere near the engine, it mysteriously disappears

)

Severe wet sumping? Oil coming out when on the centre stand means gearbox is too full, there is a path if the bike has be standing for an age...

Yarp, that's them there. Wouldn't bother with the hole....might save a bit of weight though

to the forum holliholst.

Maybe you could enlighten us on your experiment, you might find someone has the answer....

Maybe join them up and put a valve in the end....

You are too modest Grouty.

I seem to recall that the brand T covers had the hole and a piece of gauze behind held in with a perforated spring disc sort of thing...

My B25 has the oiler hole blocked with a short bolt, no vents in the caps and no oil leaks. I guess there is a vent path through the bush into the gearbox, but there is a large volume of air in the primary drive, it would only take a small hole somewhere to equalise the pressure.

gameS plural no doubt..

No woes yet my antipodean friend.....

Forgot about that wedge, been missing for 30 years!

Fantastic John

, I hope you and Lynn have a ball.

The bush on the end of the cog (the one that runs in the seal) was originally a split affair, PES do a full circle bush that they ream to fit the mainshaft, got to be a better job....no doubt others do too

As it is out of copyright, would you mind sticking it up here? If you can't do it I could put it up for you?

Well done Rickard, you won the lottery?

I was always told not to labour the engine unduly, its all about feel...

had to google "pimmel"! It is what we use in the UK as a bathroom light switch, has to be on a sting for safety in a damp environment, I just pictured you using it as a kill switch on your beesa beat.

Suggested position of new kill switch stolen from bathroom site:

There are at least two different bolts. 83-2776 & 83-3042 are listed on the "Spareparts" database above. I guess for different capacity (rather than age) tanks. On the home market large tank (the only one I have experience of), the Trim Strip Holder is angled (not at right angles like the similar Tr...

Phil Pearson has an impressive web site, anyone in Norfolk fancy paying him a visit and reporting back?

Noticed that the pattern parts, the wire loop at the bottom doesn't meet the vertical part of the stay at right angles, and forms a teardrop shape rather than a circle. Not that this should affect things, but maybe a way of spotting pattern parts from factory ones. Are the Trumpet Vonniebill ones th...

The piston flying up and down is not a pump (it sucks as hard as it blows), just pressure going up and down with and average pressure of zero, where is your pressure being generated to "pump" air out of the rockerbox and primary drive? Are you fitting extra breathers to get rid of "blow-by" past the...

Someone must have put a curse on me, got back from a ride, and noticed this:

9 year old tyres

checked out the date code on mine earlier this year, back was 10 years old, front 20...can't remember when I last changed them, but new ones are soooooo good in comparison. NOt sure your machine is Celtic, probably Mercian.

Steve Smith: "one man banned", what chance have we got with him back on the pitch?

Due to the continued sterling performance of our talented sportsman, I might close this topic......

and ban anyone posting anything containing words with two S's, an E, an H and an A.

This was my solution:

OK, I shortened the tube and the bolt length before fitting, but you get the general idea....

Just a thought, on these bikes the gap between the yokes is not fixed and there is room to increase or decrease the distance between the yokes. Its not that you have moved the yokes after fitting the wires is it? For what it is worth I have never seen or heard of the wires failing, so this is a new ...

Assuming: 1. You have used the Electrexworld wiring for ignition and charging. 2. The Electrexworld kill switch is normally closed (open to kill) 3. Your original kill switch is not wired. 4.

You can use Enfield India ones, but you will need to make/modify the spacer as the case is substantially thicker, I was going down this route but then cannibalised a NOS Bantam one and swapped the gubbins round.

Beat, if you place the rings so that the patterned faces are against each other, surely they will turn and fall into each other and the stacked height will be reduced. I have little idea how the should be stacked, but not how you have them!! I would guess that the patterned face should be down on bo...
