Hi everyone just uncovered my rd as its been layed up for past 6 plus years
Ive taken the engine out
And im going to strip the frame to change colour back to black from yellow
And sort out lots more smaller bits that i never got to do
I start the strip down tomorrow
Is there any one around Essex that would be willing to help me put back together my engine as was taken apart long time ago
Plus i would like some advice on the condition of the gears ect ect
Any help would be greatly appreciate thanks

I know it’s not the answer but if u get stuck I had my engine rebuilt by Racoons (not the furry things) two stroke specialists who did a excellent job

It's not a definite that Mark (Raccoon) has stopped doing it, but heard it from someone who has used his service before and now can't track him down ?

Dusty's guide is excellent, I just put one together using that as a refresher.
Def do a dry run when putting the cases back on without sealant. That can take a few attempts to get everything in the right place and seated.

Rob that’s such a cracking idea. Over sight by yourself and the kids learn. 👍

JIS Screwdrivers with an impact also avoid a lot of struggling / damaged bolt heads.
