Anna. Or Annanother GT550.......

dry at our place about 12 ish for me too

[Alan H]

And a good day out was enjoyed by all! Seaways, Filey, Squires, Market pub in Elsecar and home - about a 165 mile day. No-one on classics though!!!

[Harrymail]

It was a good day Alan. Thoroughly enjoyed it

[Alan H]

Stripped and cleaned a couple of oil pumps and fitted a 341 type to Anna. Pumps through all 6 pipes, so seems to be sorted.
Washed the clutch casing out (it's been polished!) and fitted new bearings & seal to the short points shaft. Tacho drive fitted ok & cover fitted. Points plate to go on next & exhausts, then see what it sounds like.
Thunderstorms forecasted for the next couple of days, so progress may not happen!

[Alan H]

Points cam & associated gubbins fitted & all set up.
Exhausts all on (k'inell haaar fkn heavy!!!!), so a bit of wiring to connect - points to coils & gearchange/neutral stuff to harnesses, plus clips to keep lekky stuff away from whirly stuff, then hopefully it'll smoke into life again.
Now where the fk is the safe place I put that polished points cover?!?!

Regarding the exhaust heaviness factor, I reckon the Piper 3:1 weighs similar to a single inner exhaust. Must weigh a set just to see......

[Harrymail]

Good progress Alan. All sounds very familiar

[Alan H]

Had most of the garage 'out' yesterday and the points cover seems to have gone awol, so eventually polished the original and fitted that instead.
I need to connect the points to the harness, fit the gear indicator switch & make sure all the cable clips are there to keep wires away from chains & sprockets etc., then on with the carbs and try for a start.

[Alan H]

Fitted the gear indicator/neutral switch and tested it first - of course - nada. 
Headlight opened & everything appeared ok, so checked the lekky book to see what I'd disremembered....
Of course, the switch needs earthing.  Well, intercourse!!!
Fastened the switch where it should be and all is well - except that I have to remantle the headlight of course.
Routed all the lekky stuff - generator, starter & gearchange wiring inside the casing away from gearbox sprocket etc. with holdydowny bracketery & connected up pretty.
Fitted the inner clutch casing with 'correct' studs - well, SS allen studs - and then had to go & pick up monster girl from day school. 3.5 y.o. granddaughter - & take her to Nostell Priory for lots of kid's stuff. That's a full afternoon's work.
So that put any more bike stuff on hold until tomorrer...... 

[Alan H]

After a scream to Squires & back yesterday on Earwig and didn't do anything with Anna, today the carbs were fitted, all casings nipped up and after a bit of spitting and farting (the bike, not me) Anna fired up and after the original smoke plume cleared, settled down to a steady tickover.
Lots still to do, but SHE'S ALIVE!!!!!
