Re: Float sticking
Another point - it's easy to mislay the little spacer that goes on the float spindle after the float is fitted. This lets the float bind on the cover. I also once had a problem with a Triumph unit twin where the mould line on the float was catching on the casing. Probably a defective pattern part, b...

Re: Float sticking
I always throw those nylon needles away as far as possible. The brass ones with the Viton tips work much better.

That's a lovely job. I take it the tools & skills are the ones you use in your "day job"?

Re: Adjustable mag sprocket
I've seen a picture of a tool for removing Norton mag sprockets that consisted of a lever bent into a U shape so that the short end of the U slips behind the sprocket and the longer end bears on the end of the spindle (with nut on a few threads). A sharp tap on this longer end then bounces the sproc...

Re: Arrow side prop stand
The proper prop stand is quite a good design (although slated by the original Motor Cycle road test for some reason). But it has to be fitted correctly - the PO of my Arrow had made a complete pig's ear of it. As Roger says, it's most unlikely you'd find an aftermarket one to fit as these generally ...

Re: Debit Card Fraud:
I doubt whether it's anything to do with contactless as there's a limit on transaction amount (usually £30). The likelihood is that one of the card readers in the petrol stations was compromised, although as you used it for online purchases as well that's also a possible source of the problem. But i...

Re: Classic Bike Insurance : A Rant.
That sounds very high. My premium with PJ is around £90 for the Norton (agreed value £6,000) and the Guzzi (agreed value £2,500).
I do believe that most of the brokers use Equity Red Star as the underwriters - PJ certainly do for mine.

Re: Ariels in Pughs auction 050518
Some of these were in their last auction but mustn't have sold.
I think Pugh's auctions are probably better for buyers than sellers.
