The rebirth of Lazarus

<< < (70/86) > >>

So Lazarus has had his first outing for 30 years and threw in a couple of snags to sort out. He cut out a couple of times at traffic lights with what felt like fuel starvation and isn't charging either. All gears engage ok and clutch works but speedo not working at all.

Well done Mick, that's not a bad snagging list really, considering you have resurrected Lazarus.

davidcumbria:
Considering all the work you did on the gearbox it must be pleasing to have it working well. Doesn’t sound like much serious to sort either👍

 apart from the occasional stall did the engine run as you’d eexpect ?

mickwinf:
Hi Dave, engine seemed to run well except a slight hesitation, only went about 3 miles though due to the fuel issue. charging battery then will look into the issues and try again.

davidcumbria:
This engine hesitation is a prevalent annd  elusive problem with some counterintuitive solutions. See my rebuild thread,   partially restored cb550 ,with some links and much more info on this. In particular though the problem looks like weak mixture unscrewing the mixture above 2 turns got  rid of my  hesitation, though I do have a delkevich 4 into 1 fitted.
