THE MOMENT OF TRUE.

I have the crankshaft in the grinding shop for study and evaluation of a possible repair, they have not assured me anything, I'm waiting.

Regarding the oil flow inside the crankshaft:
Through main bearing number 3 and 5 (green arrow) the connecting rod bearings 2-3 and 4-5 are lubricated. 

The main bearings numbers 2-4-6 (red arrow) are blind.
Main bearings 1 and 7 (blue arrow) feed connecting rod bearings 1-6.
I checked them all with a syringe and WD-40, nothing was clogged, if I didn't lubricate connecting rod number 5, the damaged one, I wouldn't lubricate number 4 either.

 

Today I visited the shop where I took the crankshaft for repair.

There are no craftsmen mechanics left, they have not given me any solution.
My intention was to weld the oval connecting rod foot and re-machine it but I can't find anyone willing to do that job.

In the meantime this afternoon I have sent a message to the people of  A.M.C.M.  in France asking for a quote for a crankshaft and a connecting rod with its corresponding bearing.

I am waiting for the scare they are going to give me with the price.

Good luck, where I am in Ontario Canada we've had an ice storm and l myself have been without power, water for 3 days and they say it will be at least Wed until power maybe restored 

 I received a quotation from the French spare parts dealer.687 euros for a crankshaft, a connecting rod and shipping.Yes, it's as painful as a kick in the nuts. On the other hand I found a crankshaft on EBAY from an English spare parts dealer with a money back guarantee.
 Its cost is about 370 euros.You have to add a slap with an open hand in the face of 94 euros of tariffs and customs charges, I laugh at the competition between Trump and Shi Ghin Pin for who has the biggest "tariff".
  I have already paid and am waiting to receive it.


 

somehow, you have to get that bike running and sorted,

appreciate your Git R Done attitude!~

One night I had a dream about Doc telling me:

  Don't repair that engine anymore, I come from the future and Christine is still failing.
