Probably!

Its been off the road 5 years... I've fiddled with the carb, Set rockers, given it points, condensor, rotor, cap and coil.. its still running rough, but its better... the 5 year old fuel probably isnt helping...

Last Sunday found that the oval required a new front wheel bearing - though I'd done both not that long ago I'm certain. Bad pitting found on the not very old bearing, and evidence of some grit in the grease:?

Clinical conditions required when fitting bearings...:roll:

What's the problem.
Using cheap bearings or not doing the job correctly?

I remember now showing Jon how to replace the front wheel bearings. I did one side as he helped, and I left him to do the other. I think he must have picked up some grit off the garage floor.

But at least he has a go at doing jobs himself.:wink:

Well amusing:rofl:

Seriously though, Jon treasures the oval and is always fussing over it. Of course its my fault the bearing needs doing again. (I'll be looking out for that spare to conveniently turn up!)

Job done (by me...) fitted roller type again though I prefer the ball race type.
