A big thank you, and some pics

Re: Oil leak from oil tank filler cap

Thats a good thought. In fact, it has a wonky thread because when I screw down the cap, it is not running true, and therefore possible not seating correctly on the sealing washer. My concern was that pressure was building in the tank (for a reason I didn't understand)! I am less concerned now about ...

Re: Oil leak from oil tank filler cap

Possible, but its only 1/2 full and did not happen last week on a similar run. I am wondering though whether I did not fully tighten the filler cap.

Oil leak from oil tank filler cap

Hi All
First time this has happened, after a run, oil running down the outside of the oil tank, escaping from filler cap.

Any ideas anyone please?

Cheers

Vokes air filter fitting

Hello w/ng people, I have acquired a vokes air filter for by bike, trouble is I can't see how the connection to the carb can work (without possibly spacing the oil tank off the frame). Has anyone got experience of doing this please? I have seen a few photographs of w/ng's with these fitted, and also...

Re: Possible Magneto problem?

That is all very interesting, thank you.

So what purpose does the slipping clutch have then please, other than to protect a faulty dynamo?

Re: Possible Magneto problem?

Hi All I have been road testing my W/NG - It didn't go well! The bike ran well for around 7 miles, then it just died. As far as I could tell, it was not a fuel problem, so I duly recovered it to home. It did start the next day. Throughly cleaned the carb but found nothing. So, I took it out yesterda...

Re: CP Gearbox woes...

Well, just goes to show 'you don't know, what you don't know'! I have reassembled as per above instructions, test ride tomorrow morning. It was a struggle getting everything lined up, I think I can add to your angle saxon dictionary Steve. I wrongly referred to my semi fluid grease as oil. My questi...
