Spent the morning full strip, clean, rebuild & new pads of the callipers that I swapped off Custurd the other week.
There was a note in the bag of the previously refurbed ones, they were done last Oct...So a bit over the normal 6 monthly swap interval...but then we did have almost 3 months of lockdown & much less use after that than normal... The pads were nearly on the ware markers...
Then spent a good hour or so refitting Andy next door's freshly cleand carbs... Only to find after install that they had a jammed throttle, very stiff to open & then didnt snap shut...
So took them back off, I thought they were just not lubed on the pivot but then decided it was the spring not tensioned then comparing them to the set I had lent him to get it running... The linkage conection on the rear carb was bent, the bit that the flat conecting arm conects to was bent in... Quick tweak with some large grips & all is good...
Boxed it all back up, fired it up to warm it up prior to a balance... Pis sing fule out... Looks like the 20 year old gaskets havent taken kindly to being disturbed... bollacks !
He will order up a repair kit & we will have to do it all again next time the days off align...
Oh & Vanstub came over & basicaly took the pith, drunk me tea & watched the weekends bike racing...
Adjusted the chain on Custurd, checked the tyres PSI front a bit low, realised I need a new front tyre...hmmm more £'s it's booked in for MOT I'll get it done then...
Tidied up, put all the bikes back in the cave done for the day...
Making up since 2007, sometimes it's true...Honest...
