Time for a rebuild

[rocker21]

I have used Rob walker Engineering Nr Witney  in Oxfordshire, superb workmanship, not the quickest but definitely good and reasonable prices.
have a look at his web site.

Right update. Yeah I know its been ages and I am useless. I shall post some of the rebuild pics. But she is now back on the road being run in. I tend to ride as normal but don't over stress on the hills and no fast getaways from the lights


ready for the engine machine work to be done


sad without the engine

Well she has reached the magical 500 mile mark so is run in  . A couple of leaks of course the gearbox while on the side stand and a small leak from the head joint which might explain some oil burning. I forgot to aneal the gasket thinking a new one would be fine-wrong. This is the first time I have forgotten and the first time I have had a leaky headgasket. Still got stuttering on acceleration getting worse as it gets hotter which points to Magneto(if its chilly I hardly notice it).
The thing is ,normally when a mag starts to fail, it goes downhill quite rapid, but this issue has been plaguing my bike for 2-3 years of constant riding 25 miles a day ????
