smooth sailing
well Ive been living in Narrabeeen (north of sydney) for the last month and all has been going well with the conversion, finally got around to
replacing the lost shroud with a new one, replaced the damaged temp guage wire and put in some new sparkies (dont know when they were last changed)
hit the road on saturday and have been purring beautifully, 100kph and with the new shroud no more then 100deg engine temp. over 3500km so far and
couldnt have asked for mush more.

Well done

damnit, starter has given way. noticed bad noises, pulled it out, found that the front of the teath has been worn down (maybe the gear hasnt been
shooting out far enough?). put it back together hoping that it would hold up 'til next week and of course 2 hrs later it was all over, must have
ripped the edge of the teath thsat was contacting clean off because all of a sudden i have a free-spinning starter :cry
