    Glad to see you're fully recovered.
    I've been watching Mr Millyard's videos for a while now, and I've finally realised what they remind me of. The calm delivery, the serious intent to inform, the methodical, unfussy camerawork, the absence of jarring background music, and the occasional touches of humour.... These videos are nothing less than really well crafted Open University lectures from decades ago, which older viewers may remember. And I think that's high praise!
    Many thanks Mr M, and keep up the excellent work 🙏

    You have the patience of a saint, with that bike. It looks like it was originally designed & built by Norton’s apprentice’s. I can’t believe it ended up at the NEC, all those years ago 🤦🏻

      I don't think even apprentices would have come up with anything as awful as that fuel rail seal sandwich. They'd be afraid of a rowlocking from the boss. It takes a real engineer to do something that abysmal.

      My first field bike at age 11 was an old Yamaha FS1E it was virtually indestructible, 1 piston ring or stripped plug threads, fixed with kitchen foil it always seem to start and run OK. My second bike was an AJS Stormer! Hardly ever came home with it still running, very often came home having not even got it started!! 47 years later and quite a few bikes, never owned a 2nd British bike! Love Alan's work but he's flogging a dead horse with this thing...LOL

    Glad you're on the mend. There's always a take-away for me in your videos- this week's is to anneal those copper sealer washers before use. I use them a lot in my work, and they require so much force to seal properly, I'm always afraid of something snapping. This little trick will make part of my job a bit less stressful, thanks for that.

    Another great episode - so satisfying to see the troubleshooting undertaken in such detail. It's another reminder of how bizarre this prototype is; passing the fuel rail through the bottom of the airbox is absolutely bonkers! How they ever achieved a fuel-tight seal is beyond me. Expertly handled and remedied by Mr M - as ever, but most importantly, sorry to hear about the bad back. I'm guessing years of sports bikes may have played their part on that. Rest easy and make sure you're fit and well before riding the Nemesis in anger!
