The Classic Marque

I haven't seen that before either Bernie---It almost looks like it should/would just take a fat 'O' ring in that wider groove--there's no real pressure on this outer seal so an O ring would be fine.
I wonder if John's piston has that double groove setup.
I also wonder if John's seal has blown up from being out on the bench for too long, they don't like being handled all that much once there'...

We're already being invaded by swarms of unwanted dangerous illegal immigrants.

Government response? Give the scum benefits.

Now, if we were to be invaded by a more regular enemy's armed forces, what might be the response?

What else? Give the bastards benefits.

I'll start looking out for that Trev.

I'm almost looking forward to when I can't drive anymore.

If I didn't need to, I'd quit now.

Crap roads, too much traffic, can't park anywhere without paying, and constantly watching the speedo in case you are 2mph over 30.

Cruise control in a Spridget? Lol. That'd be the final nail, -- if it were possible.

William,
Just pulled my M/C apart, it has the 22268/2 marks as John although the 6 is hard to see. The piston is 50mm long, the OD at all 3 points is 0.99" and it is labelled 400. I have never seen a M/C with this double grove fitting before, they measure 0.58" and 0.66" and there is a grove in the seal with the two different ID's either side. It's hard to photograph. There are no numbers on th...

We've got them mounted in box trailers here, and they can be anywhere anytime--on the trailers they also have number plate detector cameras and cameras on a pole for checking seatbelt use and mobile phones.
They don't have to say anything about where they are going to be and don't have to display warning signs
Normally they'll be parked up just round a corner or next to a billboard or some...

I thought that speed camera vans had to be overt.

In Derbyshire, they publish intended locations on their website.

It would seem round here that the operators are going covert and are ditching the camera van in favour of a normal van which they tend to hide up. They then use small cameras on a tripod which are not highly visible especially as their uniform is dark blue with just a couple of small high viz patches. They also seem to be hunting in pairs sometimes too so they both stand on the same side of the ro...

Just to echo this. Mine wasn't working either. Luckily for me one of my good friends is an electrical engineer and knows a thing or two about electronics.
We used the above diagram and tested the whole circuit and replaced a few caps and the thermistor that had come loose.

All tested and working fine for a good few years now.

Better to fix the original.

Good luck

I'm with you, Guy - the packing on the buffers was my idea! But when I went to look, I realised that the bonnet isn't reinforced where it lands on them.

I will arrange something persuasive but gentle (pious hope).

That thread made me think - when I drained the oil, I had a massive gasoline smell for a day or so. Like a carb overflow which I experienced once when I raised the back too high to take out the rear axle.
Did maybe the float valve get loose and sucked into the engine ?? Is that at all possible ?? On the other hand, the fuel pump does slow down and stop ticking after the usual number of clicks....
