engines locked up ?

[coachgeo]

ahhhhhhh...  Tigger has a Hard On?      Is that why the engine locked?   

I guess those emoticons mean you got her started?

[Bixxer Bob]

I'm guessing it worked then 

[rf9rider]

Looks like your lucks changing mate 

[rybes]

yes its workin :D so i get to ride back to denmark on weds 

as no one was anywhere near close to why the engine locked up, heres the answer. all triumph engines aint the same. the new engines covers are all flakey n crap lookin so i swapped over my black cases to the grey engine. however, the crank shaft on the new engine is differnt to the tiger one and so is the figure 8 engine case. the tiger crank has a smooth end and the new lump has a thing stickin out of the end of the crank. the new engines cover sound deadenin panel inside the cover is smaller than the tiger one. it was the crank on the new engines lump hittin a screw on the tiger casins sound deadenin panel so i didnt need to split the engine after all

I think you deserve a salute for not chucking the lump in the river, which is what I'd have probably done at the first sign of trouble
