It's the dry ptfe lube I use. Omly seen 400ml cans.

I use a torque wrench to tighten cylinder heads in stages and make sure the same torque is applied to all the head bolts. Apart from that I have never needed a torque wrench in 35 years of working on car and motorbike engines and chassis. Are you saying I am a cowboy ? If you can't safely tighten a wheel axle bolt without a torque wrench, you shouldn't be using a spanner, never mind a torque wrench

Every single bulb popping would be fairly unusual

Buy yerself a multimeter and a lamp and battery on a wire, ie connect the wires and the lamp lights. Start from the battery/fusebox and work your way around. Buy a pack of coloured tapes and add tapes to wrong colour wires to match right colour wires. ie red and green bits of tape to match red/green wire. Give it a go and repost when you have more probs.

MucOff ptfe for me , every 200 miles while chain still warm.

That particular one won't fit, the right one for your carb inlet will, but you will have fun setting up the carburation after you've fitted it.
-
Yes mate, if you have a spark and the valves close enough to create a vacuum in the inlet tract, then you will suck the fuel in. If there is compression, spark and fuel, it will burn it and turn the engine over. Good luck mate
-
Didn,t you say the plugs were getting fuel on em???
-
Persevere mate, it's worth more running than not
-
You need to check compression next mate. Worth checking clearances as well. If a valve is bent , the clearance should be more. Have a look down plugholes for shiny ring on top of piston???
-
Yeah, strip n clean everything. Carefully remove dust and fluid seals and clean grooves behind em. Get everything clean n shiny. If you can't get or afford new fluid seals, try a bearing/seal supplier and have a look at your old ones if all else fails. When rebuilding, get some Red rubber grease off eBay and smear it on the seal faces. I know it's grease , but it's made for this job!!! Good luck, Alan.

Nice one Stevie, we'll sort this one way or another

I've pm,d my number mate. Gimme a bell and I'll talk you through both your problems solutions n you can type it up later?

You could always buy second hand . I bought a nearly new DID x ring chain for £24, best chain I ever bought. 30,000 miles and still going strong. Second hand everything on my bike, sprockets, tyres(two superbike ex race tyres, £44), headlamp off a Gilera runner, the list goes on and on.

Passed motorcycle test September 1978 on a 50cc moped, pedals removed, footrests fitted to make it a motorcycle.

Thanks Stu

Depends on grade of file and how you use it. I use wet and dry for smoothing bodywork before filling, not on brake materiel
-
Yes, a file, haven,t you got one???
-
Run a file over the pad material and round off the Sharp leading edges .
-
You don,t need a torque wrench to tighten a spindle nut, just tighten it till you fart!!! You will only break it or strip it if you are a 20 stone ARM wrestler.Chain better too loose than too tight, ad long as it,s not jumping off sprockets or causing gear change problems. Lots of lubes are dry n sticky nowadays, just clean chain with paraffin once a month if dry weather.

Buy the correct led relay for your bike and a set of led indicators. Lot more reliable than bulbs.

I can make you a system from the collector backwards? Unless you want to keep it original?
