Nah, the thrust bearing/pad is doing nothing driving along. If that's dead it will be noisy when depressing the pedal
I'd be taking the fan belt off and start it up see if the vibration is still there or not, it could be a dead or dying water pump or generator
Does your motor run a vibration damper front pulley--if so does it spin true-no rubber dislodged

possible, there is less noise when I press the clutch

Yes, it’s certainly worth fitting the sprocket to the camshaft without the retaining plate and checking that it seats properly, without a gap.

Don't suppose anyone in England will want to watch the cricket now anyway----

We've had net zero on our island for years, now the guru's on mainland Aust want/are going to put in another undersea cable so they can claim to be using net zero sourced power---fantastic---bullshit--now there's investors wanting to put in windmills everywhere here to feed into the cable
They're even planning to use windmill generated power to pump water that's been through the hydropower sys...

Bill there is much more than root veg this time of year. I currently have sprouts, winter greens, carrots, lettuce, spinach and rocket to name a few on top of what you mention and then there are apples and pears which will keep so not really limited. That's without what you can grow or forage and freeze earlier in the year.

I have had occasion where there was no radius on the camwheel centre hole and it was held off the camshaft by a large radius on the camshaft.

Trev, well currently we're about 62% self sufficient so food production would need a 38% increase - quite a lot! But, as you indicate,food choice would be quite limited especially in winter. Root veg really- turnips, swedes, parsnips anyone? Maybe massive scale cold storage could be an option (much greater than at present). Depends what food security is needed in the future I...

There is a calculation, based on known fossil records, that something over 99% of all species that have ever existed on earth have gone extinct. It is highly likely that the remaining species of humans will go the same way. Its just that we don't need to hurry this process along!

If we are so intelligent surely we should manage more than the 3M years we have been around for so far. After...
