Hi Chonpuun, I typed a big reply but I lost it, so all I can say is it took me at least 60 hours and it was very satisfying to see it outside the pub the other night without a drop of oil under it

[Norm]

It involved fitting oil seals to the gearbox sprocket,engine sprocket and the connector tube holding the inner and outer primaries together

[chonpuun]

thanks, for that NORM, that is a lot of hours work, to have the primary leak proof, a lot of people just squirt the primary chain with oil before a ride , i think i might be one of those people. rick

Ric I put another 100 hours into the rest of it, 4 weeks 7 days a week

[Norm]

Rick it isn't the primary chain that really needs the oil it is the clutch hub bearing, fine as long as you don't use the clutch a lot

Leon I have been trying to shut my shed for a number of years, these bikes were ones I had promised people that I would look at and get sorted. Some take massive hours. I now only have one 1945 Enfield left here that is nearly finished, been sitting here for 18 months since I last touched it and unless the owner shows some interest in it I can't be bothered doing any more to it, it is under a cover and that is where it can stay
