spark plug cap size
Have just bought Champion D9 spark plug - but the current plug cap (LB05EH) doesn't fit as the spark plug is wider than the old one.
I could use a spade end fitting but would like to know if there's a plug cap that fits?

Re: WANTED VH500 valve lifter spindle
Solved.
The two spindles are different sizes (OHV type on top, Side valve type below) So I had a bush made up: and fitted:

Re: 1933 VH500 decompression lever hard to operate
Turns out the mechanism (lifter shaft) is badly worn so I have put a wanted post on the forum.

WANTED VH500 valve lifter spindle
Mine is so worn it now won't compress the valve.
Spares not available from Draganfly.
Can anyone help?
Ideally I'd like to replace the whole mechanism.
Thanking you in advance

Re: 1933 VH500 decompression lever hard to operate
Update - I disconnected the cable and found that I could operate the lever by hand, albeit with fair resistance from the valve spring (but that is a good thing!).
So I will investigate the cable and lever for fouling - I think the actual mechanism is fine.

1933 VH500 decompression lever hard to operate
So I can only get the lever to move when the exhaust valve is compressed.
At any other part of the engine cycle it won't budge.
Does it need adjustment? If so how?
I did locate a parts diagram but it didn't explain setup.
Thanks in advance....
