Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Never said you didnt..but as a "norm" clutch baskets tend to not make a lot of racket at high RPMs. They will chatter like a tin can full of rocks at low RPMs due to the dampner springs being loose. Higher RPM noises are usually tracked to worn bearings and such.
He didn't say higher revs chuck...he said this
"Have finished restoring my 1980 GS1000s but have a serious problem in that it will not tick over and sounds like a bag of bolts at low revs.
I know what he said..thats why I said carbs based on the definition of "tick over" given.....which was to idle. Bad IDLE will also make it chunk rocks from a bad carb sync. That's where my suggestion was coming from. I still would revisit the cars sync though if it were my bike just to be sure that's ok.

Hang on, Trevor. :-kHa... clutch basket! Maybe I do know something.
Read it carefully. He said "... and cured nowt !!"
From the Collins Dictionary:
I get the impression he still has a problem. :-\\\
.
Yeah I read it as "I have now done the clutch basket and now no more rattle"... lol... holy crap guys can someone other than the "experts" on here ever be right? Throw me a bone would ya?? Lol
The King (or Queen) would never use the word 'nowt'. It's a word with its roots buried in the heathen north... though some of them also use the word 'owt' which means 'anything' but in this context means the same thing. That's if you can understand the accent.

I will agree whole-heartedly there. :encouragement:
I have had varying degrees of "formal" education in four languages.
English has had the most exceptions to rules, many of which contradict themselves.

Does not warrant a response other than southern Jessie
Technically I'm a Jock - born on the south bank of the Tay. But raised down here in sunnier climes from age 3 (my dad's home county, he married a real heathen....or I suppose with my 'ampshoier accent, an 'eathen).
Apart from when the Welsh speak in their native tongue, the 2 accents I find hardest to understand in GB are Geordie (took me 5 minutes once to appreciate one of 'em was just asking me the time) and my mum's brothers and sisters. She's almost completely lost her Scottish accent but we do still take the p1ss because her alphabet runs E B C D E.... And my dad's big sister married a bloke from Sheffield; she now takes a bath and not a bath.
