Hi Chaps,
Opened up the rocker covers and everything is as it should be up there. Tappets and valve collets are all in their places.
No, I can’t turn anything forwards or backwards. In any gear, either with the kick starter or trying to turn the rear wheel. I even tried pushing her back and forth in 4th and nothing. Mind you, she is a heavy beast and I’ll have to try with a mate. If I do get some movement it’s the clutch slipping. And that’s with the engine now completely cold, so if a piston had nipped up, it should have come free by now. I’m just very afraid something might have come loose deep inside and has caught somewhere.
I’m afraid I’ll have to start opening her up, if no one has any other ideas. A nightmare scenario after such a lovely start. I’m feeling very down just now...
