Hi guys

            Hope someone can help us out with our newly acquired Speedy  TL 320.

            There's a bolt plus a hex stud and after loosening said nut a little it seems not to want to tighten back in.

             The oil has been drained through hex stud and any recommendations for best oil and correct amount would also be appreciated.

              Photos below and thanks very much in anticipation for any info

                                                                                                                  Cheers Zeb

Everybody does that once ! The hex bolt is the kickstart return spring stop. Oil is normally drained from the allen key one. See video on how to re-tension spring, this was done by Martin Matthews at motoswm. Have look at his site if you need parts, new and second hand. (Excellent fast response) Oil is 1200cc, I have used 5:30 car oil for years. You will get conflicting info on this.

Couple of things to do, check the kick start is tight on the shaft, take the plastic pipe on the gear box fill and extend it up under the tank, fit a pipe to the breather on the flywheel and again take it up under tank.
