Indeed so. Countless times after 'nipping out' on a fine day just to give the bike a short test run I've been enjoying it too much to stop and ridden off into the lanes for maybe another couple of hours.G3L1946 wrote: My estimation of annual mileage may be up for debate.

One bush from club spares that I fitted some years ago had the spiral cut full length but wrong-handed, thus 'screwing' a fast flow of oil into the mag drive housing. Although the bush was replaced FOC I had to strip the engine again to replace it.Stuart Jenkins wrote:Hi Stephen,
Oil in the mag drive cover could be due to the bush being fitted the wrong way round? Easy fix if it is, press out and turn it round.
Hope this helps.

Yes you can do that for the 'outer' bush. On re-reading my earlier post I realise that it was a bit ambiguous/muddled which is another effect of being old enough for a pensionG3L1946 wrote: I'm going to replace the offending leaking bush within the magneto case, bottom sprocket. Can this be tackled by simply (?) removing the chain, sprocket and removal of the next piece of casing ( shown # 018308 in manual, but no name ? ). This would not require a complete engine ‘split'.
I'm on a bit of a budget ( aren't we all, especially on a pension )
