Re: Holding clutch in and oil supply
I also fitted larger ball bearings, it made no difference.
I find neutral as I come to a stop, if I miss the chance I stop the engine with the stop/run switch, get neutral restart, it works for me.

My Commander is red. My wife thinks she remembers you possibly sat opposite you during the award ceremony if you were wearing a hat with lots of badges and you talked about a petition asking the club to offer ladder badges then we have met.

Re: She eats sparkplugs !!
C7E is a hotter plug than C8E. An uncontrollable tick over is usually air leaks, you say you have changed the O Rings on the induction tubes, what about where the carbs connect to the plenum chamber, air leaks anywhere along the air inlet route will give a high tick over. What oil are you using in t...

Re: Going to a rally
Oil tank capacity is 4.0 litres say 3.5 useable, for that amount I would get close to 3000 miles. I also carry a litre spare where the LH second battery used to be and another litre in the LH cubby hole.
Hope this helps.

Re: Water pump seals
Paul,
Yes it very important that you do add some kind of sealant where the fixed part pushes into the casing, I use blue hylomar but anything will do.
While you are in there it would make sense to fit new bearings and lip seal.

Re: Water pump seals
Paul, I can only comment on Commanders, I do not have any experience with F1's The original size mechanical seal became unavailable some time ago so Graham found a slightly larger seal that required the housing to be machined. As I did not want to machine my pump housing I found a 2 part seal which ...

Re: NOC rally in Sweden
John,
As I live north of Aberdeen I will take the Newcastle to Amsterdam ferry. I have reserved two hotels one on the way and one on the return leg pricing seems to be in line with Premier Inn here in the UK.
I will be with my wife and camping to keep the costs down.
