I've never flattened a bike trying but on the odd occasion someone has borrowed mine and turned it off with the kill switch it's taken a while to think of it.

It stayed on till I wrote the car off a year or so later, so meh

Not sure I had a manual either.

Was a rear I did.

I never changed the nut on my XJ40 when I did a wheel bearing, was I meant too?

I did it up to 'fat monkey bouncing on a breaker bar' and it never came off

Mine was a '78 with no viscous, I'd be surprised if it was different as it's the same lump.

Exactly that!

As we tell SiC DO NOT POKE!

Skips?

Pretty sure it should have a mechanical fan. I know when I tried an electric fan on my 1500 Midget it hated hot weather. It needed the constant draft off the fan to stop the carbs boiling at low speed.

If they've gone in that long ago then it's already eaten them so no point looking for them. It'd be a waste of money opening it as it runs fine.
