Navigator current fluctuates and bulbs blow
Forums
Newly on the road my 12v Boyer ignition Navigator with a new regulator seems to run fine, but the ammeter indicates a good +ve charge of up to 8amps (6V ammeter though) then will swing to -4 or there about at a highish rev, occasionally flickering wildly before going back to +8 or so. Running in, so not revved very high.

Jubilee mudguard stays

Would anyone know the fixing position of the Jubilee mudguard stay. Such as the distance between the stay and bottom of the forks. Recently resprayed forks, trying not to mark the paint.
Thanks

More Navigator gearbox trouble
Forums
It´s gearbox trouble August, I guess seeing the threads in the Lightweight forum!
So I thought I,d join in!
I got my gearbox oil tight-hopefully with new O-rings for the gear change shaft. Went out for a testride, could go up to fourth gear but was stuck in that- no more gears selectable.
So I opened up the gearbox once more to find the gear selector spring out of place.
Is there a right or a wrong way to fit it? Like in a Commando gearbox with the straight leg up? Should there be a slight gap between the spring legs and the ratchet selector?
False neutral 3rd to 4th
Forums
Has anybody found they have a false neutral between 3rd and 4th, also sometimes jumps out of 4th unless very positive with change. Not long finished rebuilding and wondering what I might have got wrong. Gearbox is the early Navigator type. All else seems good - exception is a slight whine in third, but happy to live with that.
Speedo bulb Jubilee

Maintenance manual says it a 6 volt 1.5 watt, but does not say what type of cap it goes into. Does anyone know. Ive converted to 12 volt.
Thanks

Navigator Oil supply top end
Forums
Can anyone tell me what to expect to see with the engine running, rocker covers off. I have oil being thrown from one rocker only - oil feed at top of rocker, the other three show a small dribble. I would have expected all to throw oil, how would the valve get lubricated for example. Also if I disconect the oil feed pipe at the banjo pair, there is a steady flow but of course not much presure as vented to tank. This is after a rebuild so not sure what to expect. Oil pump has been lapped but may still be work out.
Thanks
Andrew
No Head Oil Leak
Forums
Well, it's taken a while what with the Electra engine top end disassembly, checking the right head for cracks, waiting for parts from across the pond, replacing the head gasket, reinstalling the heads, carb, coils, and frame supports, resetting the vales, etc. etc. etc. But the bottom line is no more head oil leak nor any others for that matter. I must give thanks Peter Holland for his RH article on Electra engine work. I trued up the new valve covers I bought and used Peter's suggested double gaskets and sealer/grease on all four which probably stopped the leak I had.
