Oil pressure issue / motor rebuild

<< < (42/44) > >>

MrDavo:
Right, cancel the gel battery and the thinner oil, the starter refurb was a 100% success! No pics yet but the +ve brush was 1/4 inch long, the service limit is 1/2 inch. I doubt the spring was even working.

Yet again you guys made me spend £12 and saved me £100.

The motor whizzes round, the oil light goes out after a few seconds, and I can now confidently report to Trigger that there is oil upstairs in the cam box that I didn't put there.

Nurse Julie:
👏👏👏 Well done Dave, I bet there was a huge sigh of relief when it all worked as it should do

JamesH:
Awesome well done Dave...!

It's one thing people often overlook, I would guess that 90% of bikes our age have never had anything done to the starter motor bar removal and refit for engine rebuilds, and most are more than 40 years old, and people seem surprised that they fail due to worn brushes! Still, glad you got it sorted, next is to get it running!  ;D ;D

Trigger:
Hairy, see all problems are down to electrics on these old girls ;D
