Hi all
Just an update on the progress of the G2 and a question for the forum. I have now completed the overhaul of the clutch and refitted it along with the rebuilt gearbox . Unfortunately the previous owner had fitted the primary chain with just the split pin to hold it together the plate underneath is missing . Obviously I can't fit it back like that so I will have to order a new link . Dread to think about the damage if that chain had parted in use and wonder what the po was thinking of.
As predicted fitting the new clutch rubbers was fun and because I had no spare clutch plates I had to make one . In the end I made one from half inch ply and bolted that to a piece of angle iron . A very difficult job you need 2 pairs of hands to fit the rubbers . Mission accomplished though and pleased with the outcome.
Now the question . Do in need to fit the rotor that bolts to the left hand side engine cover in order to check the spark ? I'm not sure if that just recharges the system or is necessary to produce a spark at the plug .
I am away this weekend but I can see the end of the job in site and will be pushing on when I get back.
Can't wait to hear this bike run .
Cheers Chris
