Finally managed to take a short test ride the other day after years of building, unfortunately this ended up.... well not so good. The main issue was a very unpleasant noise somewhere in the transmission, I couldn´t hear exactly where it came from, but I both felt and heard it. It sounded as if a bearing was totally run down, really bad grinding sound. But only when under load, when I let the throttle off a little and just rolled, still in gear, it was quiet. I only drove maybe 3-400 meters (1/4 mile) didn´t want to risk a real brake down. I can say that everything in the primary is new, I have taken all that apart and found nothing wrong. Inside the gear box all bearings and bushes are new, all gears and the axles look fine. The gear box is now empty, all parts cleaned and inspected, and I find nothing wrong...... This is very annoying. When the primary was off and I removed the front sprocket I turned the main shaft and there was a strange rattling sound, just like something was not quite gripping as it should. I can also add that the gear box is of no specific year, I don´t know for sure about the parts inside but the casing has a number starting with "134", so maybe 1969/70? I bought that on Ebay from the USA and it´s in very good condition.
A final question; can you put something in the wrong way around when putting the box together, or do some other weird thing? It would be typical me.... Greatful for any ideas/help.
