Hi, been nosing around the forum for a while now and thought id start a thread about my new project.
Picked up last week and already stuck in, come across a few hurdles but been fixing as i go.
Starter clutch was making a hell of a racket so i didn't touch that button again, whipped the cover off to find the clutch bolts were either not lock tighted or tightened up properly causing it to destroy the pulse wheel/flywheel threads
Fair enough second hand flywheel and starter clutch found and ordered off of ebay for £23 delivered
Its got 50,000 on the clock so i wanted to check the compression, looked at the R/H spark plug to remove and saw something horrible, it seemed to have been helicoiled :/
My suspicions confirmed i now have the task of finding a second hand head in the uk, i could get it repaired but would prefer a solid unit if anyone has a lead on one feel free to wade in.
Anyway pictures will follow, cant seem to add them with the tablet :/.
Thanks for reading, Chris.
