Nash Mills- anyone practicing this Sunday 22nd as on my own?

[Sherpa Timing Issues]

if you have a kill button fitted remove it as this was the problem on my bike withn these symptoms. Also

check your wiring to the points as when fitting new ones it is easy to trap wires and to earth out.

[Crank Thrust Washers]

The 325 conrod kits are supplied with full width little ends. You are expected to bore out the old little end spacers

to fit over the new little end and by doing this centralise the crank shaft. However these spacers woked fine when sitting along

side the old little end but when fitted over the needle rollers of the new little end the internal bore will wear.

The bore wears to the point were they collapse and fall into the lower part of the engine which results in piston damage

and seizure. This has happend to two of my engines and caused me to pull out of the 2004 SSDT on the friday.

The crank must be centralized at the big end and leave the con rod to float on the little end.

I believe that this only applies to the 325 and 340 engines. The 250 con rod kits do not require spacers at the little end.
