I have a question about a problem. I went and visited England bought from a antique shop a mamod piston arm was rusted got rid of the rust and then every time I heated it up it would run for about 10-15s or less and lose all steam.

I loved my K10, never had plug problems but was forever cleaning the exhaust port.

Absolutely brilliant video Alan like the clutch tool you could market those. Funds for all the other projects you do 😊😊

Excellent video Alan very good as always 👍 😊

A man down the pub said this is the very Suzuki that Barry Steen won his first race on.....I think he's exaggerating🤣

I thought I was watching a @robotcantina8957 video when I heard that music lol. Nice work Mr Tweed 😎😎

It's to be hoped you're keeping those 'Gentleman's magazines' under lock and key and away from Jenkin's eyes. Where would we be without thread repair inserts. They provide a simple solution to stripped threads especially in alluminium. Small Honda from the 80's? Oil Leaks and Honda's don't seem to go together. Thanks for the video.

Nice work Mr Tweed ... she lives to race again!

Memories memories my first bike was a maroon Susuki K10 which my late uncle bought as a basket case, after rebuilding it he used it to get to work for a few months and when he brought my aunt over to visit my mother and Grandmother i was nagging my parents about getting a motorbike he had a quiet chiinwag with dad and said to me how much money have you saved towards a bike i told him i had £25 ( I'd been saving for ages!) he said I'll see what i can do leave it with me then the weekend before my 16th birthday he came over again ( my older cousin rode the bike over!) and said how much do you reckon i said £15 ?? That's a coincidence thats exactly what i was thinking, he made sure i got insurance and my license and the deal was done , I was mobile (1971!!)😅

I learn something every time I watch, and love the cheery banter.

Next day delivery. Sheer luxury. I am lucky if things arrive next week! I never knew you could stack the inserts. Makes sense as you say.

The joys of buying a motorcycle from Gary Gorilla and encountering his dubious maintenance malpractices………..

That’s one heli of a job Mr Tweed 😂sorry but I couldn’t stop me self

We've got to see it back up and running Mr Tweed. 🤞🤞🤞

Reverse intro amused me. Many years ago my Bultaco was reluctant to start. When it did fire up it was running a bit rough. Girls watching. Gave it a handful of throttle dropped the clutch ...dumped me backwards into hedge. How they laughed. V simple 2 stroke engine...would run backwards almost as well as forward. Heady days.

Nice repair Allan. And looking forward to seeing the Honda. Cheers, Peter.

Super dooper. You can also set the little collar on the insert tool to the depth you wish to wind in to, it will magically stop when you get there. Wonderful stuff. Best wishes, Dean.

My Norman Nippy used to occasionally run backwards as well!😂

Yeh, c’mon, let’s see the rest of the work on the Suzuki before we see the oil-leak cure on the Honda!! Really enjoying the bike repair work, thank you. I’m off to the shed by the tracks now. Cheeribye! Les

Better still use Timesets or a stepped stud. 😁

Good job brother

Did you heat treat the copper Gasket on re assembly?

Nice job! For a horrid second, I thought that you were going to drive the tap in with the milling machine. I should have known better.

Really good video, always like to see you work you explain things in uncomplicated way, definitely like to see reassemble of the suzuki 😊

You meet the nicest people on Honda, very informative Mr Tweed.

Thanks Mr. Tweed, You're a heck of a guy! I used heli-coils on the handlebar mounts of my Yamaha... but if I told you how I drilled the holes out it would probably send you to the hospital. All the best to you and yours

Another cracking video, I always make sure I can sit down and watch them properly. Your a clever man

Metric pitch is number of millimeters between thread peaks, not the number of threads per millimeter. Eg 1.75 = 1.75mm peak to peak

Mi papa tenia esa moto en Argentina

A good mix there Allan, I admire your patience, it must have been rather trying but I'm sure you'll get it sorted. Cheers

A valiant effort Mr Tweed! I guess the ‘race’ will have to wait a little longer…😢

Just followed your method for Bantam crank truing after replacing a main shaft and conrod - got it to within 0.002" at each bearing journal quite quickly, but trying to get a smidge better just threw it further out - so I've settled for 0.002". I guess that's about as good as you can expect for a crank that's at least 50 odd years old that was probably made on equipment that was about 30 years old then! Did you get the engine running, and how did the crank perform?

Tsjutsjelow OMG

I suggest using new Ngk plugs. I've found Nos plugs, which are usually 50-60 years old don't hold up at higher rpm's, unless you can test them up to 9000rpm's on a sparkplug tester. The spark may look good when kicking over, but under pressure fades. This was my problem on my 65, S32-2

A delight to watch. Profound thanks for the effort you put in.

Sorry for being me,you could have made the custom head gasket as big as the cylinder and cut ✂️ spikes as to increase the surface area 👍

Great to have you back on our screens again and a very interesting project. Keep em coming😀

That boy needs to come up the bounty next Saturday night i will explain the difference between dumplings made with suiet and those made with silicone ps am now out on day release regards bob

Great work again Mr Tweed, always a joy. Tiddler Tinkerage, Mmmarrrvelous. Ask Jenkins to check the silencer isn't all gummed up with oily old carbon while its dismembered. Always worth it, was the bane of a Fizzy and that would shut down after a few miles, only to reconvene after a little sleep. Not saying that's the issue with this one, far from it, but running without the baffleage may show some improvement in perkiness when you have it all back together. You may have covered this already, your eminence, for which I profoundly apologise. Top Hole!

lolz British Empire pith helmet and then the full Kaiser, gotta love it, was hoping for a Knights Templer! next time XD

Infuriating - but serious tenacity. You’re very close and it will be a top runner. Great work on home made tools and parts. 👍

I was going to comment on your hat, but you might have accused me of taking the pith.

That was a lot of dismantling to get at a coil. I did wonder with all the TV engagements you'd forgotten about your TH-cam channel. Does Jenkins have his own channel, I'm sure it would be very 'interesting', Nice idea of a catch up video on what's going on at Tweed Towers.

I'm shocked. Shocked I say! You didn't knurl the end of that flywheel puller tool. And we thought you were a gentleman! Did you anneal the aluminium head gasket? Is there any worry of corrosion between stainless washers on the head on the aluminium head? Stainless and Ali together always makes me feel twitchy. I know the too many projects thing. I really need to sort out my LE. I can't get it into any more pieces so it's time to start replacing them and put it back together!

Tinkly sound sounds like preignition, probably made worse by ethanol fuel. Ethanol makes jetting leaner.
