What did you do to or for or with your Laverda today?

The human body regulates it's temperature, in part by sweating. Evaporation consumes heat.

In a humid atmosphere, evaporation is near impossible since the atmosphere is saturated, hence the discomfort.

We'll have to get used to it, the world is burning.

I can imagine; dry heat good, humid heat bad. Don't know if I could handle the top end or FNQ these days.

Tis why I live on the south coast, very rarely about 35 mostly high 20s is the norm in summer.
Not looking forward to the day I retire to Thailand.
 
The first time I paid someone to rebuild a Triumph engine I owned he used THAT ORANGES SHIT. Stag I think its called. Plumbers use it.
It sets rock hard and is bloody useless plus hard to clean off later when the engine begins LEAKING.
 
The bottom of the primary cover has a bodge fix! Did the engine come from Germany? well known bodger used to wreak havoc on engines in that fashion :'(

that shit looks like Red Hermetite to me, Stag is a fair bit blacker, but if Grant says it is rock hard, then stag it could be, but those clutch plates! how was that even drivable?
CLEM

ps for information Stag is used mainly on diesel and petrol pipework, usually reinforced with dressed hemp, its a c**t to unscrew threaded pipework if that has been used, these days PTFE tape is the way on non pressure fuel lines.

Use to back in the 70/80's Vince !
 
Yes, bought in Germany.
The red, and blue and grey stuff was definitely soft silicone.
The puke colour at the bottom of the primary cover is a hard set material.
No matter, I have another primary cover to use.
This one will be stripped down and any cracks laser welded in due course. Other than that it's in decent condition.

The clutch plates are very deeply pitted. Not sure I would want to re-use them.

The head is stripped down and currently being vapour blasted.
 
You and I obviously have different standards.  :-*
I remember the bike I bought from you, it needed a lot of love.
