I think he is talking about the tappet adjustment cap? dont think it would affect the running.

Recieved my exhausts yesterday and very pleased, well packed and next day delivery for £950. A very comprehensive kit including all brackets and clamps plus exhaust to head clamps and gaskets. Even noticed the rubber stop for the centre stand. Will fit them once I get Lazarus properly sorted, living in my bedroom til then!

Hey Bryan, the sump pan had been repaired before an fitted with a smaller drain plug so might be the culprit.

I seem to have sorted the charging issue, nothing wrong with the major components but on going through the wiring I did find a couple of loose connections. Once redone it now charges up to 13+ volts with revs. One more step forwards. I do have a small oil leak underneath the engine which may come from oil drain plug but difficult to see as the oil runs and drips off sump.will have another ride soon to see if any more snags crop up.

This morning I rechecked the connections and found a bad contact, sorted that then checked the voltage regulator which turned out to be ok, even tried a spare with no luck. the battery seems to hover around 11.5 volts when engine is running and does not increase with revs. rectifier tests out ok, again tried a spare with no change. not sure what to do next, any ideas?

On my rebuild of Lazarus (see my video of first start) it took a few seconds for oil light to go out, it would not go out just cranking on starter. I did make sure I had lots of oil and graphogen on assembly and as advised by Julie take the tappet caps of to check, on my video you can clearly see it splashing out. Make sure the carb bowls are full and good luck! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOScVJ4W2fs

Looking again at alternator, the original one that came with the bike and the wires had been cut so put terminals on and extended wires to proper connector block. Thing is I dont get any readings at all at the multi connector but if i disconnect the wires at the joints I do get a result so maybe a faulty wire? The only spare I have also has the wires cut so no better. More investigation needed.

Thanks Bryan might take you up on that. Some progress with the rectifier, I didn't realise if it didn't read one way round one way try the other way round. This shows now as ok.
