Just fitted a new piston, as the compression was a bit on the low side. I found that the lower ring was gummed solid in its slot, hence the low compression.
Now, with the new piston, the compression has improved so much that the ruddy clutch slips when I kick it over! It didn't slip at the last meeting at Maylandsea (when ridden), so I wonder if this only really noticeable on kickover.
I know the clutch (griffon type) is over-due a rebuild, but I'll be stuffed if it slips at Marks Tey on Sunday. Its a bit late in the day to order a NEB clutch!
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Andrew
