FH - more tinkering?

 Another little ride out today - twenty miles around the local countryside:


Starting easily, it's running a lot less busily with it's raised gearing.


The brakes are feeling much better now - there's quite a lot of travel but they are certainly biting.

The steering head bearings are very loose - there's a lot of juddering on braking. There might be an oil leak from the cylinder head area - there's a drip on the front of the top of the primary case, coming from the barrel, and there's some oil at the back of the barrel.

It seems to be quite smoky on the drive side - I'll keep an eye on this.

Everything else seems to be working well though I think I can hear the ignition hardening up again so perhaps those points are closing up.

All in all though - lovely!
