Regarding the waterpump casing rot, i checked mine out in the weekend, and found that it was starting to corode inside. I was told to paint over it(if its not too bad) with epoxy by our local beta importer. What i decided was to do was paint it with nail polish, cause i was in a bit of a hurry to ride, and i had no epoxy.
Now im stressing about it, thinking maybe i made a mistake. Do you think the nail polish is gonna hold up?
I was given it and seems like a good idea to support the shaft. I know that they are properly used for scrambles and not really needed for trials? Just trying to make an half decent engine after finding lots of little proplems with it.
Would you not bother with it?
I dont claim to be an expert but my WD B40 (without tempting fate & touching wood) has been pretty reliable without this. So if its giving problems fitting it I wouldnt bother.
Hi this may help, Not really sure of the electrics on bsa's but you can test by using a multi meter set for ohms, testing each of the wires with each other. you should have some resistance and no open circuits. you can also test with a meter set to volts DC testing from each wire to your frame as negative and kick the bike over you should see the meter read 6v or around 12v.
A few years ago I snapped my clutch cable at the pre 65 scottish, rode the whole day with out it, found that you really dont need it apart from queuing.
