This engine was allegedly rebuilt and upgraded to 1.6 just before i bought it, who did the work i dont know. Sorry Barry i had no idea.Deep Diver wrote:I also found that there is a crankcase bolt missing on the top of the engine behind the oil cooler. So possible oil leaking from that area.

Rolled the trike out and started it up and let it warm up, checked the lights etc (must fix that horn),
cleaned the oil off the floor and put the bike onto the ramp and changed the oil and filter, tucked the trike and bike up again cup of tea and back in front of the fire.

One saving grace though, extended plug spanner arrived today I think honda purposely make the two front and rear plugs difficult to get to so you have to buy the plug spanner robbing bar stewards. Purchased some fuel hose and straight brass connectors just in case the fuel pump ever packs up....just bypass pump and let it gravity feed the carb tank must be at least a quarter full though,that's why it has a pump Barry"deepdiver" will know about fuel pumps packing up

It can take my garage (25'x11')from 4 to 22 degC in about 5 minutes
I often end up working in a T-shirt

Just beware of fumes from the heater ( carbon monoxide) and also burning propane will produce water vapour.1130cc wrote:I still mentally thank Stix for selling me his space heater and propane bottle, when he went so Spain.
