1959 RGS replica built by Andy at Leigh Classic Motorcycles about 5 years ago. Stunning looking machine ( photos to follow ). Only 400 miles since full restoration. The correct stamped gearbox fitted and high compression stamps on engine which appear correct. A few issues possibly because it has been standing.
I rode it home, only a couple of miles and a metallic screaming sound came out of the nearside or front of the engine. Woke up a few pedestrians I can tell you. Seemed to be clutch related ?
Once home it would not start again. I am not going to break this down into the various sections of the forum, fuel, electrical etc.
Chemotherapy is causing breaks in the progress to date.
The clutch crankcase was empty of oil, now rectified.
Engine oil spotless and good return as you would expect.
The Monobloc primary was full of rubbish and the spotless tank flushed out.
It is fitted with a cable advance and retard via a choke lever.
Fired it up today after many kicks and it sounded nice. During the many kicks it is kicking me back with slack on the cable control.
The amp-meter is not doing anything, totally stagnant.
The new 6 volt battery flat as a pancake. not surprising as it has been through a few winters.
I need to get the timing/starting aspect right as everything else is like brand new. All of my A10's had auto advance so I am like a fish out of water with this system.
It is not possible to spend hours on this bike due to circumstances, so some patience and useful help will be appreciated. This will probably have to go back on the market in the near future once it is running sweet again. Regards and thanks for reading this thread.
