Hi folks. I have scanned previous posts trying to get info on this. I have just fitted newly refurbed standard 1000A1 engine in my 1000A2 :-) She's running ok apart from a bit lumpy low down..... so ive static- set the dyna s ignition and was planning on having a go at balancing the carbs tom. night...

Yeh TLC, Slept on it and more importantly "thought on it "...as the cylinder/piston seemed so good once cleaned up. Its a big volume to bleed through in a oner if the whole system has been emptied... was actually a ZXR forum link where I found the tip on bleeding the M.cylinder itself firs...

Blind hole threads must be clear of dirt, old silicon, grease/oil, etc... before whacking a blot into it as you can get "hydraulic lock" and the casing can split or (as is your case) the end pop's off Cheers, will bear that in mind. Hole had quite a bit of silicone and gunk..glue?...so wil...

Ouch ! Best get it looked at then Cheers for the Devcon suggestion, will have a look. Been recommended the JB weld which can also be drilled/tapped etc..Its a tny bit of alloy but obviously will need to be tapped to accept the bolt when repair complete ...tightened VERY carefully

Yeh, cheers Pigford. Iam gonna have a look when I borrow a puller ..may well need a new starter clutch assembly(repair kit), and hopefully that'll cure it. Ordered some JB weld to hopefully (using that word a lot) ..repair the crankcase. Is there a reccommended S/clutch repair kit and supplier anyon...
