And today this happened with a bit of smoke

Well she runs and runs well albeit the smoke. Rings I would say and also a bad fit mid gasket in exhaust. Anyhow she runs quiet and those tappety noises are sorted. I did the air bleed but if you think maybe I missed something please tell me before I strip the motor again for that rehone and rings and piston.

Oh and the headlight works too dip and main...

Its a wonder your neighbors didn't call the fire brigade

Look tidy!! I once fired up my 350LC and created enough smoke to set off the smoke alarm in my next door neighbours house! The houses were side on and they'd left their windows open, only about 6 feet from my drive. They'd only moved in a week or so before, they were not very impressed for some reason!

You have the excuse of being a 2 stroke though. Its been built it from nothing in the last 8 months so it looks like almost new.

I have peppered the garage back door with black oil spray so that needs a clean. Good chance of a repaint

It's part of their charm that blue 2 stroke haze

I thought you said a little smoke! It did smoke well didn't it.

Well done Albie, I know how much effort has gone into that and you should be very proud.

uksurfer · 17-06-2012, 06:05 AM

at least you could hire it out to the local disco as a smoke machine

Glad it started mate, and looking good too

Yes but its 4 stroke though.

I believe it the oil ring. It will be apart tomorrow again. These bike are so easy to work on. Thank goodness. I feel thankful my Dukes have never let me down ever so not yet had the pleasure of an engine strip.

cool, but what part falls to the ground near the rear wheel @ 1:00?

rollo22 · 17-06-2012, 04:23 PM

Good spot Jan
Looks like the rear torsion bar

That's because the rear wheel is being swopped as it has the wrong offset at present. Well spotted though!

Finally it actually rides. Rebuilt engine. Electronic ignition and 12v. New aluminum tank. Flatside carb.
Blood sweat and tears.
Needs just tweaking.
