Ok looks like maybe I'm about to be dragged into 2017 (with your help)
Need to sell my Flash to restore some dignity to our savings after changing our car last year, What with my knee operation it had sat in the shed for some time idle, so started to kick it over a month or so ago and noticed it was a tad smoky, probably to be expected, but thought I'd put a set of new rings in, turned out one oil control ring was broken.
So purchased a set of Hepolite rings from Classic bike shop, rings look fine and delivered in four days.
Here's the thing the oil control ring has two/three parts, the ring and a sort of beaded ring inside it, I've not come on these before so would love some info on fitting them, the inner beaded ring has a wire running through it, do I have to cut this beaded ring and wire to size? or discard it
Could not get this post to post with pics attached (three jpgs all under max size) so will post in seperate post
