No further work undertaken at this meeting. However we have now acquired a replacement for the damaged piston and a second joining link for the cam chain, so work should be able to resume on this project in the near future. 

We have now obtained the following parts to begin the process of getting this bike running.. Spark Plug   Air Filter     Throttle  Cable  Battery Jack began the process of getting this bike fit for purpose once more by treating as much of its very rusty framework as possible with Cure-rust to prevent further corrosion.

No further progress at this meeting. We are still awaiting delivery of the re-manufactured reed-valve petals (Chase up sent 22/08) We did however finally manage to measure the diameter of the small end eye which is 14.5mm so we can now set out about ordering a new small end to go with the new piston.

With our assistance Annabelle continued to make progress towards getting her Ural running. I stripped and cleaned out both carburetors. Stale fuel had begun to take its toll but not too badly. Although the carbs operate by the same principles as pretty much every other carburetor they were quite differently designed to those I am used to working on, so it was an interesting learning exercise for me. Ultimately we found that the inner of the throttle cables fitted to the bike was a little too short and was keeping the throttles open. Hopefully a new pair of cables can be sourced. If not it might be possible to cut the outers. Ianto had kindly tracked down a replacement rear wheel spindle of the correct dimensions which fitted a treat and in an instant removed all the issues with the fit of the rear wheel. Jessica bought a Fridge and Microwave along that she had kindly donated for use by the club. The session ended with a Buffet (Provided by Henley’s Tearooms of Tumble) and time spent ch...

Ianto (Rough translation from the Welsh - Gift of the Gods) sorted out the headlamp brackets and other components around the top of the forks which are going to be rubbed down and spray painted in house along with the fork sliders which can then be re-assembled with the newly re-chromed fork stanchions. Phil H has sonically cleaned the set of carbs that are going to used for the final re-build once he brings them back into the workshop.
