eastanglianbiker Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 pull the plug caps off make sure the wells are not full of water its got to be something basic stopping it if you have got a spare plug then plug it into the cap rest it against the engine and turn it over see if it sparks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classickid21 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Just a quickie... But if you have coolant and fluid in the rad but nothing came ouf the bung. Would this mean the system has a block or is there a fault with the water pump ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 are you sure it is a oils or waterway plug/bung or is it a cap pt in from where they have to machine the crankcases when new and is just a blanking plug?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Part description is "plug, main gallery". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classickid21 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Yes that part i am not so confused ? I found the coolant bung and oil sump bolt is the plug gally for ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastanglianbiker Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 normally if its plug for main gallery then its for an oilway if you started the engine up with the plug out then oil would come out of the hole as the only time it would be passing through the area is when the pump is circulating while engine is running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRH Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thinking about it, yes it did hurt, my GPX had a "bolt" in a similar place an it was for an oil pressure guage take of point but it was above sump level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classickid21 Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 Thank you for clearing that up for me, i did go though the manual but i did not find thr right section. I need to top more oil in the bike, it has about 1.5 litres in it prob less with no plug, i only found a smaller bolt and i plugged it up with a rag. The bolt should be here today or tomorrow. Honestly now can't wait. Another question the rear drum, i cleaned it sanded it down inside and cleaned the discs, when riding i can feel it just a little bit ofMovement in the brake pedal ? There is plenty of meat in the shoes. I have it adjust enough for the wheel to spin freely but stop with out binding will this be enough to pass the mot, or should nipp it up couple more turns?

eastanglianbiker Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 there should be a small amount of free play/travel on the pedal but not to much as long as you can app;y the brake without the pedal going to far down it should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
