Yes James, I'm a woman on a mission ;D ;D Also, I have been given a certain amount of time in the workshop, if I go over that time I incur penalty charges ::) ::) ::)

A proper nurse would have done the bloods and sent them to the lab. Poor bedside manner! :P

Yes Tim, you're most probably right there ;D ;D ;D

We should all be very proud of what we do to keep these old girls on the road, regardless of the simplicity or complexity of the task :) :) :)
Nurse Julie:
Not doing much to the bike today but have taken the clocks off to send away for a bit of a spruce up with nice new faces.
I thought I would have a closer look at the cam chain tensioner and assembly. The cam chain tensioner arm (horseshoe) is in excellent condition as shown in the photo yesterday but I will free off the very slight tightness I can feel on the pivot pin as Bryan suggested. The chain tensioner adjuster and the 2 tensioner outer springs are also in good condition so I will use them again along with the chain tensioner holder and dampers.
On the tensioner slipper I can see that the little tabs either side look a little moth eaten and on the guide, there are cracks all the way along its length. I’m going to fit a new slipper and guide anyway but interesting to see the cracks on the surface.

Having met both Julie and Trigger and noticed the glints in eyes the only thing that surprises me is that it isn't half back together already!! Honestly though this is well written and should be a great guide when finished, perhaps Steve could put it in tips when its done. I think the only 400 parts i have are the genuine manual and parts book on CD possibly a set of very bad carbs with broken bits unless i binned them as too bad!
Spitfire:
Just read this from the start and as usual I am amazed at the punishment these bikes will take and still run, looking forward to more updates.
Cheers
