Worst basket nut I've ever seen.

If you need some new points screws I've just got some, come with captive flat and spring washers. £2 for the 6 needed inc P&P.

Thanks for the points screws offer. I'll let you know if I need them. 👍

I'm going to split the cases tomorrow,  so far not a single stripped thread!

I hope I haven't put the fluence on it now. 😕

Thats my damn dyslexic fone again Ken i meant Hermetite.
Julie the green stuff, if it was hard and flaked off was probably Green Hermetite, fairly common on the old Brits along with Red

Bryanj:
Ken you are mixing eras there

taysidedragon:
This engine has had a chequered past! It's been opened at least twice before. There is red Hermetite in a lot of places, then some black engine paint remnants on top of the Hermetite. Some of the engine paint even got inside the cases. 😯
The Orange silicone sealant was used the last time the engine came apart, it's horrible.

The primary chain guides had washers underneath them between the guide and the case. These aren't shown on the parts diagram so I assume they shouldn't be there.
Was this an attempt to 'raise' the guides and take up some slack in the worn primary chain? The guide fixing bolts were mostly non standard.

taysidedragon:
Just out of interest, the manual says to replace camchain if 6mm longer than standard, but I can't find the standard length published anywhere.

I'm not going to use the old camchain but curious about how worn it was.
