When embarking on a project, don't start until you have gathered together the necessary resources. That way you don't suddenly remember that you lent a silencer to one bloke, and your flywheel puller to a mate, just when you have got the timing cover etc. off to change the cam belt. I *think* said mate returned the puller over a year ago but I can't find it. If he wasn't away on a NHCA trail riding jolly in Spain (sorry Wavy Davy) I could email him so that he could confirm or deny that he had returned it. If was sure he had returned it I would start turning over the contents of the garage in earnest. I rode 1000 miles to Milan to get the thing ten years ago. I can buy a pattern one from Uncle Bob Wright easily enough but it's the principle of the thing. Genuine factory one it was, sold to me by a Gilera Dealer in Trezzo sull'Adda. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
Bad Form. Pratt - where else would it be but at the bottom of the 'IN' tray in a jiffy bag (you may conjecture about the height of the pile in my 'IN' tray). "Action this day." At least the garage is nice and toasty warm now. Seeya. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
Winnie FFS! The belt is off (like a dog's hind leg after sitting for a while - turned it over on the button a few times when ICBA, but I think it tends to settle back in the same position) now I just have to RTFM to double check the timing mark alignment routine.

In communiqué <>, Grimly This was a real mate of many years standing who I have called upon for assistance in return on many occasions. I would have been a pickle if 'Pointe de Corde' hadn't lent me a similar puller and locking spanner last year. Took it on trust that a 'rosbif' would post them back and not hang on to them. Hopefully I will never need the Voxan one again, so the outlay to buy them for one job seemed a bit steep. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
They're not called Senior Moments any more. They're referred to as CRAFT moments. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ... Can't Remember A F*cking Thing. [according to my mother, who should know....]
<G> Oh, but then I can. Classic really. No problem if it was something years ago, but last week.... -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Gilera Nordwest Yamaha WR250Z | | Gilera GFR Moto Morini 2C/375 | +-------------------------------------------------------------+
