engine update
Ok, now the carb's in, the clutch is in, electrics, flywheel, all set to go.....
... and the clutch on the LML (daily rider) comes loose and rattles itself to pieces. In order to get to work everyday, I had to steal the clutch from the bench 210 and put it in the LML.
Luck I did because it was not put together correctly (my fault) and the corks weren't soaked correctly (my fault) and there is a 4 plate kit in it which seems to be chewing on the brass bush.
Hopefully It will hold out until the big change over. The good thing is now I know a little more about clutches.
For the malossi (210) engine, I took the opportunity to order a cosa clutch from beedspeed. It arrived in Australia from England in less than a week.
The corks are now soaking in oil, and will go in any day now. Australia play Greece in the soccer tomorrow night at the MCG and I am going, so It can't be tomorrow.
I am starting to wonder if it might be less bother to switch motors straight off, rather than fix the motor to the bench, attempt to join an exhaust, make a way of feeding fuel, changing gears, operating the clutch and trying to kickstart it on the bench.
We shall see.....
