What a difference 2 days make.....
Being not raining torrentially took the Money Pit over to my parents at the weekend and with the help of my dad (Who still doesn't trust me with a bearing and a drift), their freezer, his lathe, a large chunk of oak & a blow torch........
Replaced front wheel bearings (Yuk! seriously knackered), Steering head bearings with tapered Rollers (YUK!! seriously knackered) & the front forks for the set I picked up on the way to the TV swimming night.
(The large chunk of oak got turned in to a thing to install stearing head bearings & the blow torch re-energised the sealing washers for the front brake banjo hose thing - which had to be dimantled in order to remove yokes (yawn) & I couldn't buy replacements for...)
1) Low point: Brake fluid and cut thumbs do not mix well.
2) High point: The test ride after.....
Next stop Air/fuel issues - In the very short stretch of tarmac I had it seems it no longer redlines higher gears now airbox fitted - guessing it's lack of air - although as the airbox currently only has 1/2 the number if screws it needs I think I prob need to fix this before venturing further....
Oh and the fuel pump cut off thing still needs investigation.
