No polish eh? still using the little discs, sure is amazing what they can do when you start to get the trick of using them the correct way.

I can barely make out any faults with that Roo, a very small amount left of the micro pitting but that's being hyper critical. Glad to have the competition Roo, you do know that will just spur me onto the next level don't you  :D :D :D :D

When you finally get round to polishing the clamps you'll find they polish up really quickly and much brighter than normal, as I keep saying, the more prep you do the better the results are..

Proud of you Roo, glad you could make it to my level, I was getting lonely up here all by myself  ;D ;D ;D

It's very difficult to find a top hat with crash hat approval! And they blow off too easily.  👨‍🦲😲

Evening, currently bobbing about checking tightness of bolts, stuff working ok, oil at level, you know.

Now setting the timing static tonight and checking spark to plugs, which is all there in abundance() after rebuilding the coils thanks to Ash’s ace file in the drop box thingy and finishing the new loom, I notice a kind of squeal/Parp noise immediately after the starter stops! Wtf??

It sounds just like that as well, the only way to describe it is it sounds a bit like the starter Parp after an old Mini or Moggy Bobbler starts. The starter didn’t do it on the bench, it’s mounted right and nothings catching/rubbing so at a bit of a loss. I’ve good oil pressure and the light goes out on cranking so all good there and oil at the head. Not heard this on a bike before. Any ideas to concentrate my investigations? And don’t say crank shells?

Yours sincerely,

 Not Over Concerned but Very Intrigued (Mr).
