Valentinik:
brilliant thank you.

Mike

Bryanj:
On the 550 only one selector is on the drum the other two pivot on a seperate shaft with pegs locating in the drum grooves, again in the manual

Valentinik:
Progress is slow due to a lack of time and money at the moment but tonight i got half an hour to start building the top crankcase up. I got the shift drum and shaft installed and starter gear (not sure if this is the correct term for this?)

Valentinik:
Tonight I got everything in place and checked all gears engage thanks to the advice from Bryanj and Oddjob.

It selects all 5 gears and each one seems to select smoothly.

Valentinik:
Thanks, I double checked the roller bearings were located over the pins as at first it didn't sit in position, but they sit down correctly now. By setrings, do you mean the half moon bearing fitted in the bearing groove at one end of either shaft?

Thanks for the pointer on the oil seals, i had presumed they would have been fitted after the cases were joined so it has saved me making the mistake.

Mike
