I live about 8 miles from there now but occasionally still take the dogs there and walk up to the spring and then around the hills. It really is quite stunning.
What have you done on your bike today?

Thank you that brings back some great memories.
Today after 5 hours of swearing, removing, cleaning, repairing and all the other ings, she lives!!!! My back hurts , my hands are cut to fuck but i'm happy, the Enfield is back. 
I said i was determined to get it running, i went through everything again and there was some shit in the injector so cleaned that out and then took the fuel pump out again and went through everything, gave it a good clean and put that back in the tank. I then put it all back together and she started first time, no matter how many times you get a bike going it still gives you a massive smile, love it. Anyway i went upstairs got ready to go for a blast then back to the garage and guess what, it started fucking raining, it's been dry all day ffs!! Nevermind, tomorrow is looking good and the rest of the week, i'm just so chuffed getting it going and the fact i don't have to pay anyone to fix it, win win!!

Why didn't you ask for advice?
Have you tried cleaning the pistons?Well happy, take it for a blast tomorrow, the next job is the front brake caliper needs some work, the pads don't seem to go back so i think the pistons need a good clean.
Have you tried loosening the bleed nipple without snapping it?I'm going to them a good clean and that leads to another problem, the bleed nipple just will not move and i don't want to snap it off!!
Listen to LozI'm going to them a good clean and that leads to another problem, the bleed nipple just will not move and i don't want to snap it off!!
Has he tried listening to Loz?Listen to Loz
Today it's cloudy and grey with a chance of rain, i got the Enfield out and went for a blast to Salisbury, i got myself a tea as it was a tad cold!!
Anyway after that i'm going to my sons house as he has a day off, he txted me this morning and i said i'll be there for 1 O'clock, it's also his birthday and i forgot as usual
, his mum was there and her mum, his mum is an x who is the mother of our son if that makes any sense!! We all sat in the garden for a catch up, my sons cousin was there aswell, what a way to spend 3 hours, bloody good afternoon! The Enfield is running well and so glad to have back on the road, bloody marvelous, i had to go to Boots to get a prescription as i've not had my antidepressants for four days and to cap it off they had none in stock so i have too wait another day and i'm starting to get cold turkey effects, i've come off them before by weaning myself off them and it aint nice! The thing that gets me is they txted me this morning saying it was there to pick up!!

Scorchio hereToday it's cloudy and grey with a chance of rain, i got the Enfield out and went for a blast to Salisbury, i got myself a tea as it was a tad cold!!
, but I've visited every Estate Agent in York 
Good.Scorchio here
If you are spending all day with Estate Agents, at least you're leaving decent folk alone.
Fucking hell that is a blast, lucky no one got injured or even killed!!
Sooooo, are you suggesting someone is a motherfucker? Not saying who, but I think you might know him, er, them…'Blast' and 'Enfield' in the same sentence. Not the usual sentence they're used in.
The mum of your son is your ex, who is the mother of your son. Yes that makes sense and didn't need explaining. That blast must've got to you
I've found out there's some hideous fat ones and some very pretty ones and some blokes - why have blokes selling houses
For the wimmins
Maybe something to do with Mr Kipper. Google the name if you don't remember.I've found out there's some hideous fat ones and some very pretty ones and some blokes - why have blokes selling houses

Sounds just like a ducati Wayne
Pushrods need a bit of adjusting, easy job when i get round to it and it being air cooled that is a normal sound.
My 1801cc air cooled Indian was the same although the Indian pushrod tapping can be dialed out, i had a program for it that i was going to get the garage to set up but i sold it.
