WORKSHOP DAY.

[tony.mon]

Done deal then; 12th June it is.
10 AM start ok for all, I hope.

All welcome, looks like CCT's and carb balances so far, anyone who hasn't got a vacuum take-off for their carbs and wants them balanced may well want to bring a couple of brass take-offs (you can order them from Morgan Carbtune, buy a set of four and share the cost with someone else on here and a short length of suitable pipe and some method of blanking them off (golf tees work fine) )

Any other work needing doing welcome, just give me a heads up and I'll make sure we have the parts/ tools needed, if I don't have them in stock.

Just a reminder, anyone needing CCT work or cam timing checked will need to loosen the two inspection covers in the LH crankcase cover (alternator cover) so that we don't have to chisel them off on the day.

And for those who don't need work doing, you're welcome to hang out, do the ride-out afterwards and just meet other owners, if you want.

Workshop #2 is on!

Tony, this open to casual observers then?

[tony.mon]

Yeah, it's like dogging, but with Swarfega.

Is it the 'Brass Adaptor Kit'? 5mm or 6mm? Anyone want the other two if I buy a set?

[vtrbarmy]

I would be very happy to get some manual ccts. been waiting an age to get some apes from debben and still have no estimate on when they will have stock

until then I have purchased some second hand auto tensioners from ebay, they should keep me on the road for a while. gonna change them at the weekend.

Likewise I've been waiting for mine from debben for the last 6-7 weeks, guy was going to get a batch made if the ones from APE didn't appear, that was a couple of weeks back, so fingers crossed they may turn up in the next week or so. If not I'd be interested in a set from Bazza if there is a set going as I'm getting very wary of using my Storm now with 29k on clock and original tensioners.

Tony would love to attend again on 12th, even though I came to last one, put me down please (this time I'll be coming on my Storm rather than my Zooki now my Storm is all back together again ) hopefully to do manual CCT's.

ye it's the M5 adapter you want bud.
i got some fancy brass tees for mine from http://www.flowtech.co.uk so i can use one take off for scottoiler and carb tune, the other for tank vacuum and carbtune.
they have a small rotary valve that closes off one outlet and i left a length of hose tucked away out of sight.
but the golf tee is a nice idea, might use some anyway to stop shite getting in the tube, seeing as it's a vac pipe any shite will get sucked into the inlets and the storm engine sucks so hard i could probably hoover my garage with it lol

[Lutonstorm2]

Should be getting a pair of standard CCTs next week and so if I don't get called to work that day,I'll be over too, if that's ok?
I can bring a carb tune kit for anyone needing one?

Ok stupid question.... What tool do I need to loosen off the alternator covers??

Cheers Tony, great idea this!

[vtrbarmy]

Allen keys Just be careful on the rear (large) one cos the actual bolt is VERY soft, one slip and it's cream crackered

[Lutonstorm2]

In a head-smacking motion....."DOH"

Yes of course!

Ok, don't have any bigger than a size 10. So anyone know the sizes so I can order a couple?

Cheers and happy riding this weekend in the sun!

[benny hedges]

i'm sure the big is a 10, the smaller one's a 6
