[QUOTE="Phil Arundel, post: 96039, member: 3659"] Hi Bill - yes, sorry, should have mentioned the the crankcases are new! I did have to have them machined with a milling fly cutter to prevent the flywheels catching the inside of the cases - I had about a couple of mm taken off. Problem solved. I am fairly confident that it is the camplate - it runs 2mm out of true when spun on the spindle. I have sent it to Maughans to be sorted. Happy days!!! Still enjoying the challenge though. It was interesting that you used to race Vincent’s. I used to mechanic for a guy called Wally Dawson from Hull when I was 17/18 (1970’s !!) before I went to uni. He raced an AJS 7R Seeley. Also, of the same period, knew Dave Boxall who raced a Vincent - he kept it in his front room when he retired from the circuit - and Tony Myersa great time for British motorcycle racing. Cheers Phil [/QUOTE]
