Had a look at the oil leak at the weekend and found the culprit straight away. The cover brackets as you know, are labelled L and R so after making sure that it was the 'L' one on top of the number 1 pot , which it was, I noticed that under the copper washer that was present, there was an indent I hadn't noticed. It appears that the bolt had been wound in really hard deforming the top so it would have never have sealed. I had put both washers on so there was no fault found except that.
Laid it on the vice end and tapped it flat, annealed the copper washer again and replaced the ally one that goes underneath. Bolt in, sorted and no leaks even if the motor is faffing about at the moment due to ignition issues.
Anyway, all good and apart from the ignotion fault, quite happy to have no disasters appear so far. Mangaed to get both the mudguards on and finished so I have to
sort ignition
Tune up and check
Tweak headstock bearings
Bleed front brakes, fix lines and mount staying rubbers into mudguard
De rust tank and paint
Start to make the seat and cover
Nearlt done, whoop whoop, theres a chance of getting her out on the road this year at this rate.
