Hello Hubert,
I must admit that the bike I got from James provided a great starting point as it was mostly unmolested.  With help and parts from many forum members and a large tin of elbow grease, I'm very pleased with the result.  The rack and top box - yes, I know not for the purists are very quickly detachable - without disturbing indicators but I want to use this bike for longer trips and don't like throw-overs or having stuff held on with bungees.  On the other theme of Gareth's proposed 'treffen' do you want to liaise regarding a stop-over on the Sunday?

Out & About / Crich in July
« Last post by paulbaker1954 on Today at 12:53:08 PM »
Hi
I just booked for Crich in July can I assume there will be an SOHC area?

How do I notify them I want to be in that area?

Cheers

Agree, there’s something calming about hearing and watching them ticking over. The governor regulates speed from 375 to 475rpm. Further improvements/repairs - the small end bush needs replacing. Magneto needs. Bit of cleaning too. Was thinking of the local shows indeed Ian. I would love to know why this engine was sitting in the loft connected to nothing. For some reason it was replaced with a Lister 4hp which was still connected to the old mill until late Dec 2021. It is now in my care as well. The last time the mill was used would have been around the mid 60’s. So it is at least 60 years since the Fairbanks ran.

When you assembled the crankcase halves is it possible that an excess of Hondabond could have entered somewhere to lead to this problem? Could the crank seals be somehow causing the extra binding if they have distorted?

I'm assuming you have not fitted the block yet.

I think you will have to split the cases again to investigate further.

I have considered if the seals were the problem, but fitted well and tightening only happens on final torque of mains bolts.

I will try easing them off and re torquing.

You can turn the crank but do need a spanner on the alternator bolt.

Wondering if I am being too cautious.

Can you normally turn by hand on rotor without pistons fitted?
