Almost but not quite

Did spend time outside today but not with Suzi, clearing blocked drains instead!!
Did have some success on the internet and have ordered GT250A/B fiches which should give the correct drawings/parts list (drawings posted before are K/L/M).
When this comes through I'll get the correct drawings for the differences posted (crankcase, crankshaft etc.)
Also found some good suppliers on line and I'll add a link (when I find out how!!) to the better ones but problem with oil plug is now sorted.

Here's hoping for better progress next year!

Doesn't time fly!

It doesn't seem that it has been so long since I last did any work on the bike or looked at the blog but the months have flown by and it's almost 2010.
With no work for 5 months the garage is looking a bit dismal with assorted detritus scattered around the engine. Much of the hard work polishing has lost it's edge although it will be a much simpler job to restore the finish again.
I see that there has been a comment (never thought that would happen) and that there have been over 12,00 hits!!!
Just goes to show I'm not the only sad b####r going about.
Many thanks to Bart and to everyone who has been looking at this (even if by accident) for the kick-start back into action.

Needing to replace the crankshaft outer oil seal (arrived months ago) and then re-assemble with sealant to allow fitting of the alternator and the clutch.
I've noticed that the oil filler plug is a remnant from some other life which barely fits.
Would be obliged if anyone can suggest where to look for a replacement as I've already tried e-bay and many web sites.

Should be photos with next post maybe even manage it this year!!
