I nearly had to get Mrs Fatbloke to sit on the engine!!

 

anyway, just a 5 week trip with work away next week, then at last crack on with Brian......................

[fatblokeonbandit]

Back from Romanian now, so i have nearly finished the Mark 2 Bandit i was fixing.

 

Did you know it is entierly possible and very easy to fit the plug from the ignition pick up into the spreedo socket on a 120 Mk2 loom, then spend and hour trying to find the missing sparks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

How embarasing,, anywwya its just abouit finished so I can crack on with Brian...

 

[fatblokeonbandit]

Finished and gone

[fatblokeonbandit]

Now back to Brian

did some wire chasing to sort the stick coils

did some Temporary wiring to see if we have sparks

 

[fatblokeonbandit]

Made the last hose and completed the cooler plumbing

 

Wound it over with no plugs to get oil pressure and check that we have sparkies. Progress at last..

of course it does. The only difference since the last time you started it, is the frame.

This one never got started in the 7/11 so its the first time since fitting the Dale Winton High comp pistons and Mr Uppertons head.

Ah ok. I can not see that.

[fatblokeonbandit]

I was so impressed it started and sounded good, I forgot that it started using the stick coils, so the wiring must be right

Ramair filters are good and flexible enough to get round frame rail issues ! They fit in most applications.

How do you tell a 750 from a 1100 linkage and swinging arm??????????????

 

[gray711]

That looks 750 to me

the difference being 750 has bearings on the ears of the arm (where the bolt with split pin is in your 2nd pic) - 1100’s have the bearing located in the hub of the knuckle - hopefully these pics will explain a bit better

750 knuckle & arm

1100 knuckle & arm

Yea, looks like 750 knuckle and swinging arm. Can do pictures tomorrow if you like.
