Started some of the work on the winter rebuild and wanted to test another Tacho, however now thw starter spins but doesn't engage. Suspect the Sprag clutch. Ordered flywheel puller.
Got it apart and garter spring knackered so replaced it and re-assembled still the same. Took t out again and on closer inspection, the cage that holds it all together is broken due to rear on one side. The tabs on the circlip are supposed to be retained on the outer ring   but these bits have worn off so circlip is not retained. Ordered new Sprag (freewheel clutch) £70 from Fowlers. Not taking chance on
Chinese Ebay jobbie.

Engine Vibrations

Well after riding Stuarts 640 supermoto and this bike back to back, the vibration had to be coming from somewhere. The rear mount was one thing I hadn't paid too uch attention to when I started the project. Stripped it down at the weekend. I dropped the back of the engine and managed to drift one of the top hat spacers out, but the other one wasn't  having it. Decided to take engine right out to get better access. Was thinking I might have to drill it out. Made a drift from a long stainless bolt and machined the head in the lathe making the lip thinner eventually, with the lip about .5mm thick I got a good contact with the end of the bush and got the bugger out. Both the spacers were about 1mm oversize on the ID so the back of the engine had about 1mm of play.  Next job is to make some new spacers and fit them, have ordered some bar stock for that. May move the oil cooler while its apart.
