Ariel Owners Motorcycle Club

One of my WNGs had a really annoying top end rattle, proper loud. Had it ages, tried a few things and was living with it.

One of the local lads reckoned it might be the pushrods hanging up in the rockers. Yeah I thought .
Well, after my issue with sticky push rods on my other single, I had a look.

What can I say, he was right. The rocker, on one side especially, would grip the push rod endpretty tightly.

I gently lapped the push rod ends into the balls on the rockers. Nice fit. No sticking. Noise cured.

Might work for you ??

I tried that on mine, no difference. Mind you I had a bigger rattle today, turned out to be the gudgeon pin scraping its way up and down the bore. Due to go to Germany on Wednesday.

OOOoohh Bad, Where's the circlip? Nev
