    The cub has died....

    Stranded me in the middle of Bath at 7:30 this morning, AA phoned the AA, who sent a car recovery van... duh! :-? and am now waiting for the flatbed to appear at 11:30..... great!

    The cause, a loss of power and a loud knocking sound.... sounds like big end to me.... great!

    Sorry to hear that Jon Surely you could have slung it in the back of the recovery van though? :P

    I have the feeling I may be starting the Bugger #3 thread soon, as the CG has developed a knock too....bad times.

    Took the sump plug out last night....



    I don't remember that white metal there when I took it out last.... :-? :-?

    Alas, this is a known weak spot on the Cub engine, and the only bearing I didn't replace when I last stripped the engine.

    It will live again, but probably not for a few months. Am going to get the Sv back on the road first and strip the engine to find the full extent of the damage.
