if its a magneto the first place i would look after checking points is the pick up holder for corrosion. also wipe clean the slip ring with the points plate removed.

my barrels are on +60 now but usa sites have +80 pistons. would they bore out to 2mm oversize without issue?

well if the greens get their way and ban meat eating i think methane bikes are the way to go. i produce plenty of methane eating parsleys and couliflowers and the seating position above the methane tank looks ideal. riding home from the pub could also be interesting.

« on: 15 September, 2020, 23:13:11 »
before you strip the front end place a large screwdriver between the brake plate and fork and wiggle around. the wheel should be rigid against the fork. the spindle should also be rigid and the clamp fork stays in place when tightened. there are lots of spindles that look the same but dont work on a a10. the a65 spindle being one.

once i had a wheel spindle bottom out at the thread leaving some play on the wheel on the clamp fork side. i had to cut a bit of hollow pipe to lengthen the step in the spindle so it clamped the wheel.

the flex at the wheel and fork bottom is usually taken up by the mudguard arched bracket acting as a brace. or your wheel and fork clamping is wrong.

Singles / b31 crankshaft bearings
« on: 14 September, 2020, 20:32:41 »
the original b31 crankshaft bearings are now superseeded by SKF , NGK, and others. but i m unsure as to whether i need c3 or cn tolerances with any of the three bearings. i ve also seen MRJA bearings the same sizes [ 1 1/8 and 7/8 ] but which suffix is correct? any recommendations?
