With the Square Four on the bench, the Huntmaster fixed and a trip for a job in Cromer in the offing it's time for a little bike ride.
In preparation, I topped up the oil a couple of days ago as I had had the return system apart and expected the filter to be empty. I turned the engine over on the kickstarter with the plugs out in order to prove circulation before I used it again.
After I'd finished my decorating job, I came back to the bike to find a little puddle under the rear chain case. I guessed there might be too much oil in the oil tank and so it proved:
I filled the big syringe twice getting this back to an acceptable level. It's been off the road for a couple of weeks and obviously wet sumps!
At the same time I adjusted the front brake and the head race bearings.
