tony27 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Have a good talk with the guys when you order the puller, they'll tell you exactly what you need to get things sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Bedford Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Hi,well I eventually managed to get hold of a flywheel puller,so I got the crankseal changed yesterday..no difference,the bike still splutters,farts n dies on tickover.I'm just trying it with a premium fuel mix so if there's still no improvement then it's carb off again..for the 7th time ?

Russ Bedford Posted December 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 I'm thinking I've missed an air leak somewhere,it ticks over sweet on full choke.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b40rt Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Does it have a reed valve ? Damaged / old reeds can cause all sorts of running / starting issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Bedford Posted December 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hi chaps,I've tried New fuel and it's made no difference ? I think my next step is to check the reeds,as someone has suggested. I'm getting pretty frustrated now because I'm off to the isle of Skye on Friday and I want to take the bike with me so I can practice/play on it..

Russ Bedford Posted December 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 We'll I've checked the reeds and they're fine,although the gasket was split.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineaway Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 When you had the flywheel cover off did you check to see if your main bearings ars bad? Just grab a hold of the flywheel and check for up and down movement. If your mains are bad the seals will never seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Bedford Posted December 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Right guys,I've got a new gasket between the Reed Cage and the crankcase and got the carb back on ,so it's ready to fire up,but it's too late (11:30 pm) I took the flywheel cover off and checked the crank for movement..there is a bit of play but not much.Does this mean my main bearings are shagged or is there normally a tiny bit of movement?

tony27 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Bearings are C3 clearance so there should be a barely noticeable amount of play, see what happens with the new gasket, unless the motor rumbles the main bearings are probably ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Bedford Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 Right ok thanks.I'll try it tonight after work..I'm running out of things to eliminate.!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
