Hi all, Thanks for the responses I have had a closer look and have come to the conclusion the gearbox will require swapping...could not see any bosses or threaded holes. So what next I need to get the engine running but am off on holiday tomorrow so it will rest in the garage drying off as it was st...

Hi all,
I know its been covered before but rather than surfing through old posts,
Question...Can the disc bits and bobs be swapped onto a Drum gearbox, don't need the detail just confirmation please. I can cope with the engineering its computers that drive me nuts!!!

Ive just looked at your photos and counted the threads per 10mm, there appears to be 5 or 5.5 which would would equate to a thread pitch around 2mm plus. Do they make 14x2mm?
It could be an imperial size but my tables are in the frozen garage just now.
I think they used a non standard bolt

Andy, I recently required a new belt for my Bond Bug and the local car wholesaler was very helpful. I knew the width but the length was the challenge. Use a piece of clothes line(old Type) not the plastic and wrap it around the two pulleys and pull tight, measure the length and ask an agent to enter...

Very hard to identify as by the time I got out of the car and opened the cover the ice had melted!!! after a couple of stops we went for coffee and ca...

Joe, You don't say which engine or which pump. When I switched to Moto Guzzi I had flooding problems as the regulator was not up to the job and the pump was a displacement type that keeps shoving fuel forward despite the regulator not requesting it. Resolved the flow problem by introducing a tee bac...

Rocketman,
I would replace the zip-tie with a jubilee clip, as the zip tie can pull through with potentially disastrous results.
Don't use cheep jubilee clips as they are not of good manufacturing quality.

viv, I'd revisit the carb re icing. In the past I had a similar problem in the winter, solved by wrapping the carb with a cardboard shroud. I was stuck in Safeways carpark and it was readily available in the skip. If the carb is icing when running, the engine stops and by the time you get out mutter...
