Hi All
After changing the front axle and spring on the Brookfields I went for a short run to check everything. Suspension wise it was fine but engine wise was not good.
Back home I found the advance retard lever was moving on the control tube. The tube had stuck solid in the column. A rub down with wire wool and a light oiling restored things. However I can’t remember ever lubricating these concentric tubes. Exactly how one is supposed to get oil down the helical groove in the tube once installed I’m not sure. Is it simply a question of 3 in 1 oil between the control levers?
Advice please
Cheers
Howard
