After several weeks of procrastination I have at long last finished the Poorly AJS and wonder of wonders the old girl fired up on the second kick - for the benefit of younger people, Old British motorbikes are started manually by a kickstart lever. Even better, after approx two minutes of ticking over engine oil was seen returning to the oil tank. Just got a few minor jobs to tidy up and we are ready for a run. Of course I will be carrying a large bag of tools as I still don't fully trust my own mechanical skills. In theory with new main bearings she should be good for a year or two.
I have a sneaky feeling there is something not quite right! She has stood for a few hours now and there has not been any oil leaks - and before you ask YES I did put some oil in it
