Haha yeah they are some strange ones, only ones I had on hand but have since bought a big box of proper elastic bands for all future bike building uses :D

I like them in green. Were they not meant to be fitted to the bottom of the liners before you fitted the barrels 🤔🤔🤔

So I buttoned up the the engine and decided to do valve clearances and compression check while I'm looking for the plate part.
So hooked up the solenoid battery and got the starter turning over. Got the compression checker out and to my dismay all four cylinders were running at 60psi >:( I really didn't understand this as looking at the cloud of oil and air coming out of exhaust side there was I was sure more pressure.
However I went back and checked all the clearances and tried again same result.
At this point I remembered my had given me a lot of his old tools so went searching and found another compression checker all four cylinders reading 160-170 psi.
So tomorrow I'll be burning the cheap sealey compression checker. But I've learnt a good lesson.

Do you have carbs mounted? If so, you have to open them fully, incl choke to reach max psi
