This morning I took the engine out of the Ulster to fix what I assumed was a loose flywheel. With the engine out on the garage floor ready to take the clutch apart I realised that the rivets holding the splined boss onto the centre plate were quite loose, allowing the boss to move. The flywheel does not appear to be loose but I will check it whilst the engine is out. I also need to fit a longer starting handle shaft so I can crank the engine without the handle catching the radiator cowl. I noticed the difference working in my new garage with the ultra bright LED strip lighting. The whole engine removal was done without any blaspheming, there were no nuts or washers dropped into places never to be seen again, all quite boring!
