Hi guys
The Elford is coming home this week at last
(it was coming home last September but working away stopped that).
The engine has not been run for a few years now, does anyone have any ideas on the best way to turn it over to check its not seized and maybe get her running?.
Thanks
Gary

Just get a socket on the main pulley (on the e-shaft) and give it a go. Don't get too brutal though with scaff bars lol - take the spark plugs out too to make it easier.

Hi Gary - bet it feels good to have her home ?
Any movement with the engine ? You could put a little oil in the bores too.

The Elford is home
The front brakes are binding badly ,i have turned the engine over and she is as free as a bird.
I have charged the battery and turned it over ,i have a spark at the coils and the plugs but it won;t fire , i think that there is no fuel getting up to the carb,so that is tommorow nights project.

Might be wise to clean out the fuel line and change fuel filter as well as drain the fuel tank of old petrol then clean tank to remove debris etc
