Went to the rollers today
















Dont get to excited

Spent nearly 4 hours setting up that stupid carb, so the bloody thing idled properly. It was idling lovely, then went to put it on the rollers, dipped the clutch and it stalled... not a good sign. Kept happening, and the guy suggested that i mite have put the trust washers in the wrong way round... and i was adement that i hadnt. In the end there was nothing else to try except get it back home on the trailer and check it.

Turns out i was right, i had not put the thrusters in the wrong way. The problem tho, was that one of them was too big. When i first put the motor together i used 3 thou oversize thrusters on all four. After guaging the gap i then changed a pair of them for a pair of standard size thrusters, to get the correct gap of 6 thou. It turns out one of these two std size washers was a +3thou, incidently it was the one that sits in the block, not the mains cap, hense why when i re-checked the gap, i measured it at 6thou, which should have been fine - and i didnt notice the other one.

So its back to looking like this...







Pretty hacked off right now , but, people make mistakes and i'm not going tarnish anyones reputation on a public forum just yet, i'll give them a chance to grovel first

Hopefully when this is fixed tho, all should be good... fingers crossed hey
