Got another evening out on the bike last night (well from 11:30pm onwards), have had the starter give me jip a couple of times and had to rock the bike backwards to nodge it so that it will work, so I had bought a starter brush plate kit a while ago, this included o-rings, bushes and oil seal. Decided while the carbs are off, it's ultra easy to get to so now is the time.
Removed, stripped, found brushes not too badly worn but one of them sticky, probably a clean up would sort it but I had the new plate :rolleyes , gave everything a clean fitted new plate, used new lip seal & o-rings and put back together with a bit of silicone grease. Did not use new bushes, the rear one felt fine ( :lol ), and the one at the drive end is a roller bearing on mine.
Back on motor
, time for a rum'n'coke and crash out :z
