Yes - cheers fellas - will try and sort - nice friendly forum this - liking it lots!

All back together now with Steve's replacement cover. started it back up and the lights started flickering when the clutch lever was pulled in. V odd. Checked behind the headlight and there was some sort of exposed fuse which I wrapped insulting tape around and all is good with the CRM again.

I now ...

You, Sir, are a star.

Thanks

Cheers for the response Steve - have PM'd you.

Pretty sure the o-ring should actually be there - LT supplied it within the seal kit for my bike and there is a groove for it in the crank. I reckon I just didn't torque it up properly but I've done it as per the LT manual now.

Got a new problem now in that I can't get my replacement clutch cover ...

Ok - thanks Steve.

I reckon I might have worked part of this out. Putting the large collar back on the crankshaft last night and then lining up the end gears it looks like the smallest end gear is not quite flush with the end of the shaft and is in fact sticking out a few mm which I'm sure can't be ...

OK - so I am having problems with this.

I have a new woodruff key whuch is deffo the right one and it is the same size as the old one. It just doesn't seem long enough as the slot in the clutch side of the crankshaft seems too long. As such it is sliding around in the slot and has no doubt allowed ...

Big thanks to Knackered for sorting me out with a clutch cover on this. Very well packed and sent quickly - much appreciated. V happy indeed.

It may well be I used the wrong woodruff key when putting this engine back together which would perhaps explain the last gear on the crank spinning and the ...

Yes, not sure - I remember the woodruff key did seem to slide around a bit in the slot so am wondering if that has created my difficulty now.

I think I will try and get hold of a replacement and then carefully take it apart and see what can be found. Ordering a new key is prob on the menu as well ...

I discovered (following a slight oil leak) that my crank end bolt seems to have made an unwelcome appearance through the clutch cover on my mk 3 as per the below. :cry: :cry:

Sorry, one more question. Does anyone know if it is possible to dispense with this sensor and the neutral light or whether in fact it is required for the CDI to work correctly?

OK Knackered - thanks for the help. Have checked with LT and a new one is £50 plus delivery. Might just bite the bullet as it seems as though I may need to faff about with using the Mk2 gear selector drum as well (having read some other posts) and I feel like I've got enough of a challenge for an ...

Haven't really thought that far ahead yet but if I do decide to get shot I will try and let you know. Cheers

Hello to all and Merry Christmas and all that.

Bought a bit of a basket case Mk3 a few weeks back and have been trying to assemble all the parts to put it back together, most of which are there.

However, I'm missing the neutral switch/gear position sensor (I think it is the same part). Have had a ...
