Re: Shark's 39E
this bikes the 'black' version, perhaps powder coated frame & lots of black spray bomb all over the place

Re: Shark's 39E
The previous owner said the bike sat in the shed for years and his dog would piss on the wheel. that wheel is off my spares bike, I thought being in worse condition than the wheel on the bike I'm restoring, i'd rebuild them first while keeping the others intact till I've finished lacing up.Mezo wrote:Yep that's the worst cancer ive seen.

Re: Shark's 39E
I could never get this engine started, no spark, I didn't put too much effort in, it certainly felt like it had plenty of compression.
I started pulling it apart, someone has at some stage put a high comp piston, it's 96mm
barrel looks ok, i think.

Re: Shark's 39E
The middle cam journal seems to be in bad condition, the corresponding part of the cam not so bad or am I mistaken?
is that serviceable or repairable?
I found an engraved number on the barrel, head & head cover, probably from being in a machine shop at some.
I can see a bead of sealant where the engine cases join, so it's been apart at some stage, the con rod doesn't appear to have any slop(apart from a bit of side to side), i still need to have a look down inside to check out the gears, I've ordered one of those usb camera things, yet to arrive.

Re: Shark's 39E
I took the head, cover & cam to a motorcycle engineer, he said just give it a bit of wet & dry to remove any high spots and just use it, he said similar things used to happen to old Honda XRs.
Probably lack of oil getting there.

Re: Shark's 39E
I have read that you can tidy up the journals by lapping down the cam cover and head joint, effectively closing the bore down and then running a hand lap/hone through to restore the size.
