I pulled the head off and lifted the barrel just enough to see the oil gallery that feeds the rockers. I spun it over on the electric start, no oil coming up the oil hole what soever. So it looks like a strip down to see what has happened to the pump. Jimmy.

Hi Guys. I have no oil going to the rockers spindles. I was out for a run on my 150cc ace. When I got back the engine stopped and refused to start again. I removed the rocker cover and found the inlet rocker completely seized. I then removed the head and barrel and checked the oil hole feed to...

Hi Herbert. I bought the faring from BB Plastics. it was supposed to be for a 125 Honda, but I had to do a bit of fettling to get it to fit. Yes that is a Nr. Ireland number plate. I don't have any lights whatsoever on the bike not even a brake light or reflector. It is on a daylight MOT, and...

Hi Crazy. Update on the front wheel converted to hub brake, and handle bar clamps ground off. Jimmy.

What mods have you done to the engine Crazy? Like the Hailwood rep Yorkie. I got Mike's Autograph 2 weeks before he was killed. He opened the Kings Hall Motorcycle Show here in Belfast. Jimmy
