Sent you another PM Cheers Craig

I've managed to PM you RiffRaff. Craig

Sorry RiffRaff, message system doesn't seem to be working. Can you check and see if your inbox is full?

Hi RiffRaff, I expect it was imported by Martin / Neil Crosswaite who were the early importers of the Yam engined Scorpas. If you PM me your email address I will send you some details. Cheers Craig

Holy thread ressurection! One from Perce, back in the day... Just click on the red 'Scott Trial' to see the full version

As Turbofurball says, it all seems to have migrated to the Club or District FB pages or other Forums, certainly the case up here in Scotland. I think the news feeds are posted up by the clubs etc, so if they've moved on to their own platforms then it seems there is no longer a centralised outlet which TC once was.

Ok I get it now, it's a roller bearing and the inner race is on the crank, can certainly hear the knocking in the video. I thought it would be a ball race like the old motors hence the Loctite suggestion. Not that many options as it would prove difficult to remove the inner race from the shaft without damaging it although I've seen similar drop off getting quick heat into them. It may be worth measuring up the race or take the crank into your local bearing factor to measure it to see if they can get you anything similar but it may be that Honda have their own unique sizes. As you say, probably best to try a new roller first before going down the rabbit hole...

How much wear are we taking about? Does the new bearing just drop on to the shaft / did you have to pull the old one off or did it come off easily? If it feels like just a transition fit then Loctite 641 Bearing Fit would be worth a go. P.S. You could upload the video to Youtube and put the link on here Craig

Yes if you're using Castrol Power 1 the 'Racing' branded one is the fully synth. Occasionally pops up in Tesco's garages at £3 a litre, always worth a quick glace if you're in paying for fuel.

The drawing in the Clymer book is for the CB/XL/SL series of engines which have a different set-up on the engine left side. Those engines have an internal flywheel where the stator coils are outside the magnet, the genuine TL engines have an external flywheel where the stator coils are held inside the cover referred to by Naichuff with the rotor spinning around the outside of them. What letters does the engine number start with? This is what the TL casing should look like, the hole at the top is where the timing pointer should be.

Not quite following what you mean by "Plenty of spark but no ignition". Do you mean you have a spark at the plug but the engine's not firing up?

PM'd you f1wade
