George is sorting out a lean out fuel issue. Something he has never had before, even with the 125cc motor.
This morning he has changed the taper on the jet needle in an effort to richen up the wot mixture. Knowing George,

A week with the grandsons and now back to the Bonnie. The cylinder bore had quite a bit of taper in it so it will get a bore job and new .020 oversize pistons. 20180728_123037.jpg The head gasket show a leak between cylinder bores.

I found why the fork tube was sticking. A small dent at the bottom of the lower tube. With Georges help and a bit of engenuity, the problem is solved. Now it's ready for powder coating.

Thanks for taking on the BBQ. We will be there. I hope to have a rider finished up by then.

Making more tools. This makes disassembling these shocks much easier.

Thanks Jay, I'll eventually get one built for the AJS.

How about a Saturday morning 'Coffee & Donuts' for riders? I'll post it when I get caught up a bit.
