If the starter clutch is accessible I would refurbished the unit. But it's up to you to make the call.

It did get finished and sadly sold. COVID stopped all filming but I'll try and find the finished bike pics. Might be a video or two there.

Thank you for noticing

It's a case of perseverance and making sure the rollers are recessed properly. Nothing should be bent though. Best of luck Markus

Thanks a lot!

Guess what, they had sold me the wrong parts! Looked similar but the 3 zylinders were a little bit too long. For this reason they bent the casing and the zylinders could‘t move. After receiving the right Parts everything worked out like you described it in the video :-) Thanks again and best regards, Markus

@@markuskemper363 Very pleased to know it's sorted now. If you haven't already could you subscribe and share this channel. I'm in the process of re-launching it and subscribers mean more videos. Anything you can do to help raise awareness to my channel would be really appreciated you help. Thanks Rob

Hey there. We had to stop filming due to COVID and other commitments. The bike was completed and we sadly parted with it. Was painful to say goodbye.

Ah sorry I didn't film this step. I took apart and checked everything but the camera wasn't rolling. There's a ton of deep dives I could have done but I just didn't have the time. The bike got completed and sold but COVID stopped filming in our tracks. Would love to kick start this channel again.

Unfortunately COVID stopped the filming of this series. Would love to restart this channel. Please subscribe as if I hit 2k subscribers I would be motivated to start again.

Thanks for the tip. How does it compare to your videos.

Your comment can be valid but wasn't a concern in this example. Starter clutch was working perfectly before. Changed rollers/springs as a caution and to demonstrate how the starter clutch works. Inspected for flat spots and any other wear. All good. I've found with these starter clutches it's the initial engagement that causes them to start slipping. This usually is the springs reduced pressure, causing slip, then a polishing of the surfaces. This then exaggerates the wear further widening the tolerances to the point it then binds (rollers don't roll) creating flat spots. Fortunately it was all in superb condition.

I can't remember now. We sourced a lot of parts from a company that sold GPZ kit. I don't believe the company exists now. There were also kit available on eBay and other online places. It's a pretty basic and common part so should be easy to find with some googling.

Hello Vincent. Thank you for the feedback. I filmed everything to create a bolt by bolt blow for the engine strip down and rebuild videos and also long descriptive video for the starter clutch issues and rehuild. Is this the format and detail you prefer.

Sorry Andy. Been so long since I rebuilt it I can't remember the details.

What do you need help with?

They should be snug but not tight. Wrap the valve with something to protect the seal and help it slide over.

Sadly COVID stopped the filming in it's tracks. We couldn't travel to each others so it scuppered the whole channel. Would love to kick start the channel so please subscribe.

It was a long time ago now but there was a lot of hunting for the correct kit.

Thank you Ken. Only wish I had time to do more. I might kick start this channel again later this year.

@@FixRideExplore I subscribed with huge enthusiasm from Australia to only just see the production date of the videos was 2020! I wonder where the channel went??? Excellent quality when it was going. It's mid 2023. Hopefully you guys can re boot but with only 1,200 subscribers and so few views that will take more money than UA-cam or Patreon could ever supplement you with. It's going to have to be a labour of love I'd imagine. I await to have my subscribe bell rung!!! Cheers.

@@theaustralianconundrum This is the exact issue. Work and Family commitments had to come first. We love working and riding on bikes and I really enjoy filming everything but it tripples the time need to do anything. Hopefully one day it'll kick start again. Next film will likely be another adventure motorcycling series.

@@FixRideExplore Adventure motorcycling? I'm too much of a wimp. I hate surprises. Give me track days anytime. LOL. But good luck guys. Stay safe. ;-))

@@theaustralianconundrum I've never done a track day. I think I'm scared of losing control at max speed. Maybe one day... I'm much more comfortable crossing a desert or mountain range.

Yes the project was finished but sadly COVID stopped the filming in it's tracks. Would love to start this channel up again so please subscribe. The subscription number really helps make it worthwhile.

Me, too. But at my age of 69, laying on the garage floor to reach certain nuts, clamps or bolts was destroying my enthusiasm for the project. However, and I'm kicking myself in the ass for not doing this sooner, I recently bought a Handy motorcycle lift and my enthusiasm is back. Now, about sourcing those discontinued, hard-to-find, rusted out parts......

It'll be worth the effort. It's so rewarding bringing something back to life.

Superb project.

You sometimes never know what condition an engine is in without taking it apart. For example the starter clutch could have been on the edge of giving up, a very common problem on these bikes. It would have been more work and more expense and time to dismantle the bike again to remove the engine. I appreciate everyone approaches things differently. But I've rebuilt many engines that seem ok on the outside but have had major issues waiting on the inside.

Splitting the engine is no bother and it's the only way to really know if anything is wrong or on its way to failure.

@@FixRideExplore But now it's going back together with all those lovely beaded in parts all disturbed.

We did finish the bike and sadly had to sell it. COVID stopped the filming in it's tracks so could complete the series. Would love to kick start this channel again. Please subscribe. If I can hit 2k subscriber Id be motivated to start again.

Brian is about 6'2" ish

They were all checked and adjusted. Just didn't have the camera rolling.

Thank you

It's a beautiful bike as are its two new motorcycle friends. Ride safe buddy.

@@FixRideExplore you too,thanks for all the skill you both put into it to make it so👍👍

@@FixRideExplore Brilliant news. Thanks for the update. I’ve rebuilt my own 1985 A2 since and she’s like new🇮🇪

Bikes almost done but lockdowns and life has got in the way this year. We restore these bikes in our spare time and don't get a penny for making the videos. We love doing it and appreciate all the great feedback. We wish we could make a career out of it. The filming and editing the restoration takes much longer so we've had to put it on hold until we have enough time. We're planning on wrapping it up early 2022.

Hello Zunaid. Yes we're very conscious of this. 2021 has been so busy we have both have very limited free time and being in and out of lockdown has made this even harder. The good news is the bike is almost finished and were planning to wrap it up with some filming in the new year. It takes a lot of time to do the work and filming and editing almost doubles it. Keep subscribed and you'll get notified when the final video is uploaded. Rob

I put a very thin smearing of sealant on the gasket In areas that exit to the outside world but it's best for you to understand what the gasket is doing and make your own call. The most important thing to remember when applying sealant is that it can ooze out of the join when it's compressed. This can then clog and foul oilways and cause issues. This is why only a smearing is required and too much makes the oozing worst. For example an area of the engine oilway post oil filter would be a bad place to have excess sealant. Take a look at the oil pan and map out where it's important to have sealant and where's it's not. Also check the mating surfaces are good. Gasket sealant is for tiny imperfections not damage and big gaps.
