Oilyracers..keep ya motor running.. Maybe one day we will head out on the highway. Looking for adventure....
Not so fast 'Boy Wonder' the Covid19 still rages in the breath of the 'spreaders'. As yet us mere mortals have no protection against this invisible killer only carbolic soap and Listerine mouthwash. Armpits and breath smell wonderful but UK government still advise Locking Down - Unlocking- Locking Down again. The new normal way of life. Name any country it's all the same yo yo. The whole world is in hiding from a dasterdly uncontrollable germ let loose by an as yet unknown master of evil. The Joker? The Riddler? Nah, some sort of chinese Ernst Stavro Blofeld hiding somewhere in Ying Tong Wuhan City.
Holy catastrophic bat droppings Robin -
Only MI6 Special Agent 007(and a bit) Boris Bond can save Blighty now...
Can I suggest we move quickly to the Batcave for safety ....and as a special treat I think Alfred has tea and piping hot buttery crumpets ready.
Deep in the Batcave (The Old Sidevalve Bar) work continues on the Belgium Honda. The crank. Now here's a tale if you have the time. Your Uncle Albert isn't one to fall into believing what's written on facebook forums on the old internettywilly. BUT hang on there's always a first time. - The CB72 Owners forum (of which Belgium Honda is one of) is busting with knowledgeable wafflers and zingy shed trained advisers. Sounds familiar? I don't encourage such strays near 'The Old Sidevalve Bar' They'll drink ya ale store dry in a flash!!! Only kidding, the topic of that particular day was discussing the crud caught in the sludge traps of old honda flywheels. Eeek I thought, how very very interesting. Could my own sludge traps be harbouring such nastyness?. Now it's not a case of just undoing a conveniently placed screw to peek inside. No sir! Bungs have to be drilled out.....commitment to really really wanna know is crutial. And the ability to re-bung an educational requirement.
Aluminium bung drilled out and behold...the very much feared blocker of oil ways. I have lots too.
Much pocking and broddling followed with strong wire, squirting of WD40 and high pressure blasting with compressed air. Oilways now appear free. (I think...I hope.....) A crank strip would be the 100% way but.....sometimes a leap of faith is required..
Never Broddled? You may have....click here to find out.
Old crud don't half make ya thirsty...POSH!!! Take the ex 'Elvis' CB72 and see if ya can't fill a bottle or 2 of that local refreshing mountain spring water. Hey, I ain't tea total ! But it's nay but 10 in't morning!
