Sarge’s crack and big hole.
Didn’t do a very tidy job when welding up this pipe, I’m spoilt by the tig welder, still, got it done and neither pipe now rubs on the frame. Went for a test drive then, anything over half throttle and it stutters and misses, front brake didn’t work, head bearings were loose, rear tyre was flat and then to top it all off the throttle jammed one me. On the plus side the cooling system is probably okay, it’s obvious that the pipes have massively leaned out the carburation and that what’s causing it to run so hot.
So I’ll do sorting a jet kit and while the carbs are out I can get around the front head and find that oil leak. doesn’t sound so bad listed like that, wonder what other horrors await under that tank? (note to self, gottta get full pic of sarges vulcan)
Glad to be back in the garage, need to do more tomorrow. Waiting for the runners next new belt.
