Excellent news Richard - I am waiting for a dating certificate now: Alan Bedford, member from Cromer, came over to inspect last week which was great.RTichard Woolnough wrote:took the ole gal out just now for the first time, what a revelation lovely soft motor, she handled quite well actually I can see this becoming addictive, you seem to progress at a stately pace rather than tearing about, however started stuttering a mile or so from home but managed to get into my garage, petrol shortage I think and the copper supply was leaking at the lower joint, sorted this but very low on fuel so no go at present, on a different note P.O believes the tank has been lined and the lining is coming away blocking the supply at times, having fitted copper pipe both end connections soldered 'tis difficult to fit an inline filter so any ingenious idea's will be welcome, or should I just fit a flexible pipe with a filter 'till I can sort out the tank? kind regards
I suggest you get it professionally sorted. They are not overly complicated internally and your problem is probably just a greasy clutch; however you do see the drive pinions stripped sometimes and they are difficult to get bits for. The needle pulls off using a watch hand puller on the little hub but it's not for the faint hearted.RTichard Woolnough wrote:me again, speedo does't work so I have had a look at it, not sure what I'm seeking mind you thought perhaps a clean might assist, anyway all the little wheels move when spun but nothing is being transferred to the needle, firstly any suggestions why?, then thought of removing the needle and face and washing it in my sonic cleaner having removed the odometer wheels first of course, anyway what does anyone think, and how do I remove the needle or should I just bite the bullet and have it professionally sorted? I believe it is an original military one it has the early Smiths face and has at one time had the small rivet locking the bezel in place. kind regards
