Hi Roger
Your suggestion of turning the back plate worked. No idea why as it was standard but thanks anyway

Bob K

Thanks guys
A near neighbour suggested taking the threads off the set screws as they are to replace ,but that didn't work so turning the back plate sounds good.

Thanks again, I will let you know if it works

Bob K

Help
The mighty arrow has gone on one side . points ok spark ok condenser seem ok . My timing light is spot on on one side but the other is just to late ,the back plate is at the end of its slider. Any thoughts?


Cheers Bob K

hi Nick
the lower hole you show in your pic is the hole for the brake light cable to pass through and not a fixing hole. It looks to me your rear inner mud guard could be replacement of unknown birth.

Hi Steve
You must have been at Wickham early or very late as from 9.30 till 11.00 you could hardly park a bike or walk around, and I missed you,
Spring ride out how about Greenham common control tower as it is now has a tea room and visitor center.

Hi John
Are you sure it is the needle that,s sticking as I had the opposite happen, turning on the fuel the float chamber flooded only to find the shaft that the float moves on had a black line on it and cleaning the shaft the float moved freely and no more flooding. Just a thought.
