I want to paint the housing, just wondering if anyone has removed one.

I assume it’s stuck down and maybe a bit of heat will enable me to remove it and then put it back after.
Yes, I stick mine on top of the radiator so it makes the glue gooey, it's like UHU, then slide a very thin blade under it and gradually peel off. Be careful to not bend the plate as it leaves a line in the metal.

Never heard of them Julie, but good old google research unearthed a bit of info!👍
I had heard of Ailsa Craig before but that's because they are Potatoes, which  I've grown and also tomatoes, which I still grow and an Onion that I've never grown😂😂😂

I toured a bit of Scotland a few years ago...the midges were horrendous until we camped on Skye when a stiff breeze kept the little blighters at bay - I haven't ever enjoyed a coastal breeze so much!

At last, I've had time to read through this thread.
The only 'old' engine I've ever had a up close and person relationship with is a Ailsa Craig 1hp (I think 🤔) that we had as an outboard motor on our tenders to get too and fro our boats when they were anchored off shore. It always reminded me of an electric whisk to look at, very small and compact but was ultra reliable, never left us stranded, thank goodness 🤣🤣🤣

For Laverda Dave and anyone else interested in Orkney or contemplating a trip, this is a short piece about the barriers on a local website:

Hello John,

here's a link to some photos from our Scotland tour last year.

https://photos.app.goo.gl/wEwzoqD49h1YrSQo7

Hope you get nice weather like we did.
Our only regret is that we didn't use our CB750F1 and took a BMW instead because we were certain it would piss down with rain.

Anyhow over 3 weeks and 3000 miles we seldom got rain, but I got forced into a Travel Lodge once to keep the peace!

Hope the photos inspire you and others to explore Scotland.


all the best

Skoti

Gosh really. No pneumatic valve control needed in those days then per Messers Marquez et al. 😜
