Now that is being organised

Never tried and interested to see how you get on!! One thought straight away would be to sort out the angle of the carbs and the float bowls

When explained like that makes perfect sense

Nice build and that swingarm is a good find

autojumble Note to self! Only buy what you need

Nice work, and something different

As documented elsewhere in OSS land some used Amal carbs very successfully

All those links were useful, certainly made my nightshift more fun

Another way is to heat stud till red-hot then cool down with engine oil (very smokey) and best done outside, but the heat draws the oil down the threads and makes it loose, its an old blacksmith trick

If you can't find parts film on Internet, i found going on robinsons foundry site and looking at there parts film you can see the dimensions of each bolt, which should help you a bit

As said above put the puller back on and leave it under pressure, pop out every few hours give it a whack, will come eventually

Watched a day's racing last year and it did look like a lot of fun, good luck! going to be following this with interest

Yeah my ez never sounded like that! Agree with @TonyGeeit's a bearing noise only issue is will it go away or cause big problems down the line sorry to be a harbinger of doom

That will definitely drag a sidecar around nicely, +1on the crocs for when working on the bikes Comfy

E10 left for between 8 to12 weeks in an old Amal!

Saunders always bore to piston, as they will tell you there is a lot of pistons on the market where the manufacturing tolerances are a little suspect

Enjoying the topic and the passion

Saunders motor works at Cadnam near Southampton So 40 2nb In my experience they are reliable and honest and do a really good job and explain what they have done and also tell you what can't be done when you take in something that is past saving so I'd always recommend them

As @coombehousesays the earth coming from the side plate that holds electricall components is well known for causing issues, and engine earth strap can go loose and get a bit of crap under it to cause intermediate problems

Yeah head off and check properly it will be worth it in the end

looking like a 79 to1980 model T according to my old haynes book

@Jdeacfunny how life changes, riding and messing with bikes used to be the one thing I never worried about,but like others have said lots of heads have small cracks, obviously photos don't always show how bad they are! Maybe pressure testing the head??

If she was running fine before she will still run fine!! Difference is you now know the head is cracked, only question is can you live with it or will it nag at you from the back of your mind

Just in case you were going to waste your money! Both ez ET tanks to narrow at the front

Gsx1100 I know do and I seem to remember using some gs 850 pipes back in the day
