Hello all
Phil (the Basingstoke Comet) here..... still enjoying riding about and getting soaked in the summer! A bit frustrated by the Comet's slow going on uphill stretches. I was advised to check that the crankcase breather is timed correctly so I have just removed the banjo and created a plastic tube/insulating tape thingy to thrust up the hole (not using Ernie's KY) in the crankcase just in front of the dynamo. Took out the sparkplug and turned the engine over a few times - NOTHING coming in or out of the pipe at any time during the cycle. Not knowing the inner mysteries of this particular setup I don't know what to look for now. A screwdriver passes unimpeded from one side of the cases to the other and there are no visible signs of blockage. Any ideas, please?
Regards
Phil
