[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 3288, member: 109"] [b]Thanks Phil and Barry[/b] Thanks Phil and Barry, Although the bike is running fine, I know there is something wrong as the pushrod is meant to rotate and it is not - it will wear in one plane so that's not good. Although not an experienced engineer, I do have an inquisitive mind and so it needs to get sorted - it wasn't designed this way. There are a couple of people that have helped me before who do have the necessary skills and experience to help out and both offer their skills to Vincent Owners in retirement to keep cash flowing in, so I will make tracks to one of them - failing that being a possibility then I will call Derek who comes so highly recommended from a number of sources, including currently putting Graham Smith's Shadow engine together. I'll try and get it organised this week as the weather is set to improve and the riding season is fast approaching. I'm very grateful for your interest and support - I'll certainly keep the Forum posted on how I get on. Such a damn shame when the bike looks gorgeous and runs faultlessly, and I got the tank back on again without trapping any cables or changing the carb. set up. That's life I guess. Cheers.
