Here in the Dolomites my Comet went well up and down the Stelios pass as well as many others. Some 500 to 600 miles in the first three days of the superb "Cols des Alpes" rally organised by Jean Marie duBonneville.
Apart from the main jet working loose and my new cheap (non VOCS) pattern silencer coming adrift..... welded by a local garage, all was going well until the drive disappeared and alarming noises transmission appeared.
Upon dismantling I found a loose clutch with rollers scattered over the chain case. The centre nut and lock washer had come off and the splines on the clutch centre had all but disappeared........terminal!
Any thoughts from the forum on whether this is a common fault and any advice on what I might do better? Meanwhile I have ordered a new PR50-2X from the VÖCS plus locking washer becasue the inner shaft splines look ok.
Thanks in anticipation
