Weekly log.
Lots of little jobs this week.
A couple of shots of how the boot hinges work, Position one for starting, position two for maintenance. Hinge pins from master cylinder pins with split pins for easy removal.
Time spent putting heavy duty valve springs in and not a few expletives uttered in the process. The valves have split collets and aluminum caps. Getting the collets back in involved losing them several times, taking the crank case cover off, shaking the engine upside down, employing the wife, and generally getting frustrated before "getting the knack".
No amount of YouTubing can give you "the knack" :-)
One positive from changing the springs was finding an extra nut that the factory had included loose in the rocker cover! That could have caused some aggro!
(not so ) common lizard on the marsh
A few hours preparing side one for the final skin and an added spring to the pedal.
