[QUOTE="Peter Holmes, post: 119304, member: 302"] I have probably had a lucky escape, I am not sure when I last rode my Comet, but it was probably towards the back end of last year, wherever I went I got home without a hint of trouble, well none that I noticed anyway. So with nothing better to do today I thought I would check a few of the usual things, when I get to the exhaust tappet it is loose, and I mean loose, I immediately started to think savage cam or follower wear, probably both, but then I find the bulb on the end of the pushrod virtually worn away and the tappet adjuster snapped in half, but somehow hanging into to rocker by just a single thread, has anyone experienced this before, should I investigate further down or just replace the pushrod and adjuster and see how we go, any suggestions.
