    It's to be hoped you're keeping those 'Gentleman's magazines' under lock and key and away from Jenkin's eyes.
    Where would we be without thread repair inserts. They provide a simple solution to stripped threads especially in alluminium.
    Small Honda from the 80's? Oil Leaks and Honda's don't seem to go together.
    Thanks for the video.

      That's what i thought Colin, but it is an issue on this particular model because its an over complicated oil seal which can only be changed by splitting the engine, so they didn't get changed ( unless you were a courier rider trying to making a living so you'd rip out the old one, bash in a new one with copious amounts of silicon sealer and call it done! )

    Super dooper. You can also set the little collar on the insert tool to the depth you wish to wind in to, it will magically stop when you get there. Wonderful stuff. Best wishes, Dean.

    Reverse intro amused me. Many years ago my Bultaco was reluctant to start. When it did fire up it was running a bit rough. Girls watching. Gave it a handful of throttle dropped the clutch ...dumped me backwards into hedge. How they laughed. V simple 2 stroke engine...would run backwards almost as well as forward. Heady days.

      ​@@TweedsGarage..A Bantam 173 3 gears was my 1st bike in 1996 fully road legally yet semi-illegal grey area on capacity, but with only roughly 3.5 hp and a max speed of under 53mph on the clock, it was lesser than most fifties, except it had stonking torque compared to them.
      Anyhow I was warned never to somehow push/bump start it backwards as it would run backwards with it's dynamo ignition.

    Memories memories my first bike was a maroon Susuki K10 which my late uncle bought as a basket case, after rebuilding it he used it to get to work for a few months and when he brought my aunt over to visit my mother and Grandmother i was nagging my parents about getting a motorbike he had a quiet chiinwag with dad and said to me how much money have you saved towards a bike i told him i had £25 ( I'd been saving for ages!) he said I'll see what i can do leave it with me then the weekend before my 16th birthday he came over again ( my older cousin rode the bike over!) and said how much do you reckon i said £15 ?? That's a coincidence thats exactly what i was thinking, he made sure i got insurance and my license and the deal was done , I was mobile (1971!!)😅

      Not normally Nick, they keep themselves in place ( they are compressed and slightly bigger than the threaded hole so are in tension against the thread they sit in when wound in )

  • @razor1uk610
    @razor1uk610 Месяц назад

    Please don't reuse the old insert as it looks very short, much too short to contain the forces upon it, hence why it failed again pulling out even more of the barrel's remaining threads from the previous repair. You might need a bokt with a longer threaded depth to properly engage the helicoil perhaps ?
