:eek Dunno what this face is sposed to signify, but it looks like the mirror - view of a pillion, when the lights turn green,so I thought I'd shove it in for the laugh !
Thanks for the info Peoples. Oil & Filter is sorted now. Bought a filter pliers thingy from Halfords.£11 quid-ish.Loads easier to grab the filter than with the usual chain job. Swapped the plugs too. made no difference.Still a bit rough running on tickover,and up to around2000rpm.It will run rough all the way up to around 5, if you keep the throt down on the primaries, and let the engine catch up.Soon as you give it a fraction more, it goes smoooooth !
Real pain in traffic.
Did a vac check. Right two were way above left two, so after finding a long enough screwdriver,all four are now spot-on. Again - made no difference.Still the bloody same rough low end.
To put it into words, its like saying "BarberBarberBarber". trouble is it's orribly chain snatchy when trickling through traffic, slipping the clutch all the time, to try damping the effect, up to 15 mph.(which accounts for 50% of my journey home!) soon as I get off the primaries, it's like a swiss watch. Could it be a blocked primary, or maybe a mixture mis-match,on one cylinder? Mmm - I wonder...
Manuel - I don't got no car licence bro - never bothered with the 4 wheel-rustbuckets, so it's bike or bus for me.Or stop at 'ome !
( and theres no handlebars or wind in yer chops on a bus - so that idea can go swivel). PS. last time I tried the bus, which was "every 10 mins" - I stood for 3/4 of an hour in the wet stuff, only to hoof it the 3 miles into town, only to be passed by the glib git, as I got past the town hall !Never again!)
2 wheels - since '78, pass me Car test? - nah - too late !
