Getting a tacho drive fixed on a classic racing bike

<< < (14/14)

John Hill:
Yes, very interesting to watch Bogs and a very nice result, no wonder he was pleased. :thumbup:

Now..... I have this little problem with the kick starter ratchet on my Douglas..... I was just wondering... :coffee:



(According to what I have read I will only need a little spacer which I am now well equipped to handle myself.)

bogstandard:
John,

A couple of bushes and a spacer will make sure you will be bump starting it from now on. Kickstarts aren't required on a racing engine, they are just dead weight.

BTW, he has asked me to go to his shop at some time in the future and help with assembling the engine. That should be interesting, I hate working with other peoples fingers in the same pie. I think I will tell him to get the box of bits, and leave me to it, or else he is on his own.


John

John Hill:
John, it could be that he is seeking to learn from you.  I suggest you take your Thermos or box of beers and make sure you dont actually put your fingers on the engine,  just by watching and talking you will be able to guide him through which will avoid disaster and ensure he is a very happy chappy having 'done it himself',  that what I would do anyway.
