Well. At the Battle of the Buckets Sully60 broke his motor so a swap with mine was attempted. In the course of this swap we discovered something about my engine.
It has now been fixed, but the bike is heavier than it was. At least the crank now gets oil though. I've never taken the clutch cover off before so at some stage of the engines life someone has and didn't refit the oil feed to the crank.
Thanks to Sully60's eagle eyes () a complete meltdown has been avoided.
We'll see how it goes at the Slipway on the 29th June; It seems pretty good at the moment. A few other tweaks and it starts first kick from cold with no choke. Damn, that's better than it ever was...
