Evening Thedktor, Haven't been near the bike for a few weeks now, the tail end of the warm summer weather has prompted work on the boat as it involves fibreglass. I've now got a decent gel agm battery that fits the battery box and I've got a receipt for the replacement engine so I can send it off to...

Thank you Dutch,

It would be a pity to burn a piston on an engine I've just replaced!

I'll ask Huskyparts and Huskysport for some advice before I get carried away with myself

Thanks Mad Hatter, I wouldn't say it's sorted but getting there. I need to sort the throttle cables to get the bike to idle without holding the throttle open, I messed around with the cables getting the carb off which was unnecessary but that's the kind of thing you do when you're starting out from ...

Not so much a wrecker's yard as a muddy creek in the Norfolk Broad!

It was a foot deep in brown river water when I found it but it's coming back to life slowly.

The battery that came with the bike is too big for the battery box, which is maybe why it didn't have one?! and it's certainly weak, so I'll be buying a new one. But otherwise not too bad so far...

Having been a bit dim I have now seen the light... It dawned on me that a clutch actuator hose being braided was a dead giveaway for "quite a bit of pressure needed" to push that rod through it's little hole and no amount of pushing it with my thumb was going to make the slightest differen...

Thanks for your input Dutchgit.

I've sent an email to Huskyparts and I'll phone Huskysport in the morning before I get heavy handed.

You're quite right!

The small operating cylinder, the cover on the end of the braided clutch hose.

This one...

To get the flywheel nut torqued correctly I had to take the transmission cover off and wedge a soft washer in the teeth of the primary gears and then I had to download the user instructions for the torque wrench... ;) Flywheel on, then the flywheel cover and the transmission cover... so far so good....

The bag of goodies arrived from Huskysport today and the new carb hoses. The flywheel has been transferred from the old motor to the new. The rear swingarm has a nut on the end of the axle bolt... there's a novelty :whistle: The tank can now hang on two hangers rather than just the one. New pads in ...
