The bike would start and just die. I swapped carburettors and new fuel, same thing. I thought probably the condenser then found some fuel mix in the points cover so I am replacing the oil seal. Bit out of my comfort zone , but ready for the new seal. Hopefully with new condenser and points it should be okay.

Ready to register
I have just got an MOT on the Anglian and now ready to register.
Thanks to Dave for putting right my mistakes and improvements (don't mention the seal ).
No doubt it will be a DEY number as the TFS has just come through with DEY, they must have a spare batch, new old stock.

Trust me...i`m a doctor!!!!!!!!
But Tony, you asked me not to mention the crank seal you put in the wrong way....... so i won`t, your secret is safe with me........
But seriously, things like that are easy done, & as the original was fitted incorrectly, then you have only replaced it like for like........

I have several in different colours, to match my mood.... I've attached a pic to help you choose, modelled here by my mate Sergei Rackmaninuff (...don't spill his pint though....!)
Sadly, the pink one is currently unavailable as The Chairman still has it on loan from last year's panto.....

I think I have used up all their DEY registrations as this one is RHH.Last edited by John Wakefield; 31/10/2016, 08:36 PM.

Stale fuel
It just goes to show how much difference fresh fuel makes. I went to take the bike out for a nice muddy Devon ride, and would it start? Not a chance, I kicked and kicked removed the plug, fat spark cleaned it, still no action. Drained the tank and carb, fresh fuel, started first kick. I did not think I had left it that long however it must have been longer than I thought.
Has any one used Briggs & Stratton Fuel Fit Additive/Stabiliser to help keep the fuel in good condition?

Just had a similar problem with my Honda mower i have had for about 6 years, 3 years ago the petrol tank started leaking as the fuel ate through the plastic type tank!!no trouble for the next 3 years then it started to keep stopping after a bit of use and in the end would not start at all found the fuel pipe clogged , after that it went for another couple of months , then in the end yet again refused to start, in desperation took it to a friend who has a mower repair business, and took off and sonic cleaned the carb !! no more probe crudded up with the golden film of are old mate Mr Ethanol deposit. yet again he strikes.
