Title: Key wont turn - ignition barrel
Post by: bunker on April 19, 2018, 03:27:17 PM
As it says really  :^_^

Was getting ready to fire the old girl up last night to see how these newly rebuilt carbs would run, but the key is in and won't turn.

TBF I didn't have a lot of time to look very much further than spraying some GT-85 into the barrel and giving it a gentle tap on the bottom (no sniggering at the back!).
Is there anything I should be checking? I'm guessing the barrel comes apart easily enough, but if its knackered will one from another model fit? (had a quick look on ebay and there seems to be nothing on atm)

Thanks guys  :thumbsup

Can't comment on this one,but seems plenty of info if you do a 'search'??
Apparently not easy to remove due to 'shear' bolts😕

Don't forget if you change the ignition the key won't match the tank or seat. Might be better getting a complete set.

Also 3pot is right there is something tricky going on with the ignition barrel fitting. You can't just unbolt it if memory serves.
