Isn't the master key red on Punt's?
I thrashed one around a few years ago and it never gave me any problems other than tyres cause I gave it so much stick. Fantastic engine - you'll love it I'm sure

You guys are too good to me

Oh, one more thing.... The filter cartridge cam with 2 large rubber O rings, 1 thick and 1 thin. I assume the thick one seals the bowl to the housing? but where does the thin one go pls?

Did you make it back home..............???

Ta !

Ahhh, all clear now - Thanks

Can I show my ignorance here and ask what the "top hat" is pls. I changed my M/C earlier this year and didnt remove "top hat or anything else for that matter?

I've looked at 2 manuals now and they both show different order of steel washer and sealing washer.
Can anyone confirm if its....

1 - Spring, steel washer, sealing washer, top plate, filter

or

2 - Spring, sealing washer, steel washer, top plate, filter

Thanks (again)

Sounds good to me

Such is life :-) Actually I quite enjoy been out in the garage playing with my toys so its no major disater really.

That will be rockin' Dude

Hi BMC. I've found a spring and plate in the spares box but I don't have the steel washer and sealing washer as shown in the manual which sit on top of the spring - are these parts critical? Timing gear off !!!! Engine out !!!! Oh Man - This is turning into a major job :-( Thanks for the torque figu...

Is that not good then ?
Whilst I'm there does any one have the torque settings for the mains and big ends pls?
Thanks again

Thanks for the advice. Attached a pic of the centre main. No sign of a spring or plate in the filter housing. I'll go check the manual to see what it "should" look like <br><br>

OK, I'll have a look at the centre main. Here is a pic of the big ends - How do these look to you guys?<br><br>

Just dropped the sump on my 1098 to investigate what sounded like crank rumble. Took out one set of big ends also. There does not appear any crank movement either laterally or within the main bearings. The big ends don't look too bad and are marked as standard "STD". However, there is a lo...

Sorry to hear that...

Sounds promising..... So, Neil, if you are out there, how much to re-chrome a rear bumper blade pls?

You may not exist in this universe but quite possible you are still existing in a parallel universe ?

Has anyone had any experience of re-chroming any parts. Specifically I need my rear bumper smartening up. Typically, how much does it cost and does anyone know a good place to use?
