[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 98011, member: 433"] Dieter is just waiting for the crank oil seal conversion kit, so his next trial will be in the middle of the week. He told me he will attend the TT on his Comet anyway to give it some more running in of the new piston. He checked the gearing which is 18/48 as final drive. He told me that he changes into 4th at about 50 mph. He has already changed his carb for the shadow one. I got him an Armours straight through as my Comet never liked the spiral type. The noise is fantastic well at least we think so, certainly not his neighbors. Until now he only used one fuel tap, so he will try with both taps open next time. Talking about the Atd, he just fitted new springs supplied from the VOCSC, that was a good hint, maybe we should try a run with the old springs. We simply ran out of ideas, that's why I am asking you folks, OH, also there is no problem with the lower guide, we checked that as well as the valves which are sealing perfectly, also the valve seats were replaced and the valves are not pocketed into the seats. As I said, we just don't understand where the problem lies. I think I need another cuppa If you have more ideas please don't hesitate Cheers Bernd [/QUOTE]
