[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 4286, member: 109"] [b]Many thanks John...[/b] Hi John, Sounds like the PD16 can stay in place on the shaft for the run on Sunday - that's good news and I'll button it up again in the morning. I think I can manage for the 3 weeks that Stuart says he needs - I intend doing the Bill Hancock Rally in York on 7 June so should just make it all back together for that. If I get stuck perhaps I could give you a call and take up your offer - very kind of you indeed. What's driving my calculation is that the bike has a 14AH battery fitted and the ameter shows discharge at less than 0.5A when running so the electronic ignition system is clearly not taking much. On that basis, so long as I am riding in daylight, I should be OK for my runs out and about. I've got the famous AA card if I get stuck. Fingers crossed Stuart T. can get me all back together again even sooner. Interestingly Stuart suspected that perhaps with headlight on the bike may be drawing too much as the dynamo is rated at 50W. I can't find a marking on the bulb but from it seems to only draw 2 to 2.5A when switched onto main beam. It's not the first time Stuart says he has seen the commutator cry "enough". Cheers John, and thanks again so much, really appreciated. Stuart [/QUOTE]
