Gears stuck?

[Akzle]

I have a sneaking suspicion you're being ignored mate.

he's more fucking ignored than me. i'm quite incensed. he's not half the cunt i am.

A Few half second taps of the starter motor and it has come free now. Seems it was only slightly stuck.

If the starter motor goes ... sell it. Probably the best bit on the whole bike.

He IS half a cunt ... you're the complete cunt ...

Didn't check by for a few days... oh how I love the biker community.

Please forgive me for ignoring your "to the tip" comment... I thought you were being a prick, but may be you were being slightly serious. Also forgive me if I am taking your "entire seriousness" as "slightly serious" - that's pure ignorance... willfully, ofcourse.

A motorcycle gear lever isnt a light switch - every time you push is something miraculous does not occur. Its a lump of metal connected to other lumps connected to a bunvh of messy cogs that have been abused.

Drag it out and push it back and forward - see if that makes a difference. Get a mate to push you and see if you can make it go click that way...

However - I'd suggest you find someone a little more experienced in actual meat space and get them to look at it because your descriptions thus far are really just asking for a ribbing. maybe not your fault but just saying....

There is the main problem.

Yeah .. I've known people who've had them .. my advice is strip the engine completely and reassemble it - it's the oly way to be sure ..

Had a mate with one ... he took the barrell off ... the nuts on the conrod were only finger tight .. you'd freak at the things he found when he stripped the engine completely ... bearings in wrong ... nuts not tight ...

It's a good way to get a cheap bike - but you need to strip them and rebuild them before riding ..

Which half are you ?

[Akzle]

My first bike was a 1953 Ariel 350 single. Eventually I got round to stripping the engine. And found that the crankpin was in back to front. Meaning there was no direct oil feed into the big end...just whatever it picked up from dipping into the oil in the crankcase each time it went round...

Amazing it didn't cease. But it kept going. Nothing like an understressed engine.
