  2. SOMETHING TO PONDER OVER

    Common knowledge?

    Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 600 employees and has the following employee statistics:

    29 have been accused of spouse abuse

    7 have been arrested for fraud

    9 have been accused of writing bad cheques

    17 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses

    3 have done time for assault

    71 cannot get a credit card

    14 have been arrested on drug-related charges

    8 have been arrested for shop-lifting

    21 are currently defendants in lawsuits

    84 have been arrested for drink driving in the last year

    Which organisation is this?

    It's the 635 members of the House of Commons, the same group that cranks out hundreds of new laws each year designed to keep the rest of us inline.

    What a bunch of to**er's we have running our country - it says it all. And just to top all that they probably have the best 'corporate' pension scheme in the country .

  3. Thanks Woody.Very practical mod, but not very pretty. How much smaller is a PVL system than the standard Lucas generator? I've seen some B40's with a much slimmer cover on the left than my one. This would be quite a athsetically pleasing mod. The PVL goes in place of the generator and doesnt need a battery ? Are the old covers interchangeable with the later one ?

  4. It worked a treat on the many brass taps, handles and pipes on show in this fine old Victorian establishment. Dunno if the place is still there. Doubt it. Ah, they don't build loos like they used to.

    Loo's arn't the same, but there's sure plenty of sh*t going round.

    Thanks for the suggestions, will lookout for Belgom Alu'.

  5. Its a sickening feeling though isn't it - watching the pride and joy tumbling away into apparent destruction.

    I managed two trials from new before mine was christened - rearing up at the top of a steep hill before company was parted and it headed downhill at max revs - destined to kill at least three riders walking the section - before two small trees halted its progress and held it suspended upside down.

    Great sport. :dunce:

    Sounds like the work of a luddite.

  6. How often do you need to adjust / check the valve settings?

    What symptoms do you get if they are wrong?

    If they are set how do they change?

    Plug it into your laptop, should down load all the neccessery info.

  7. I've used Brasso for over 30 years, works well. Solvol is also good but a little more abrasive and costs more.

    Bye, PeterB.

    Forgotten about Brasso, has a funny smell ? A bit like an aged relative!

  8. I have the same play on my B40, it's not a problem. I don't have a thrust washer there either. Only problem I can think of is if the play is excessive then the primary chain may wear the edge off the basket teeth.

    Bye, PeterB.

    Thanks PeterB

  9. not a beeza expert.. but the bearing comes into play when the clutch is pulled in with the engine running... so never come under load, a single row bearing will always have "play". not sure about the thrust washer tho.

    Trust washer is available, but not sure if required, as you say. Under load the plates lock up and all forces are transmitted through the gear box shaft, I hope.

    Thanks Alan

    Anybody (Wayne) wish to confirm.

  10. Quite the reverse, tubeless repair is easy as long as you have the dogt--ds. no wheel to remove etc.

    Expand please. Incidentally will parsons russel t--rds do the same trick ? No shortage of them.
