not done much on here lately but have got some bits done on the wing its been just to cold . right it got the heads of the one wasnt to bad but not great but the other was really bad both cylinders had had something in the bore looks like some time in the past the electrodes have come free and damaged the piston and head but has missed the valve seat
the valve seats were as bad as ive seen no shiny just carbon they took a while to bring them back .the oil seals were brittle so i think thats where its burning the oil from as the pistons are tight in the bores the head also had bad sratches so ive had them skimmed
also it had 2 broken springs ive spent some time emailing trying to track some down i managed to get one outer spring the only one i can find in this country at the cost of £8 the other ive had to buy second hand from the us at the price of £36
also got the swing arm painted . stripping the rear master down to reseal next as it will be a big job to do once the swing arm is in

Re: operation jinja wing
Jin have you tried David Silver spares, they have contacts in the USA
https://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/par ... rt-number/
There must be some other springs which will fit

Re: operation jinja wing
A good engine shop should be able to check them with your springs.
