Hard work pays off,... eventually!
Over the last 18 months I've been working on a Navigator I bought off ebay and, without wishing to tempt fate, I think I'm almost there with the big jobs and can now consider it a rolling restoration.

Hello,
currently I am working on my 1965 Jubilee to get it running. The odometer says 1600 miles and I believe that could be correct. I called her "Tequila Sunrise" because of the faded paint on the tank.
Hi. I recently purchased a Navigator and on inspection I've found a few oil leaks (what's the problem, that's normal I hear you say).
Hi. I recently purchased a Navigator and on inspection discovered it was leaking oil badly from the oil return pipe.
Hi everyone . I've just purchased a jubilee with the intentions to restore it over the winter months . I have no documentation but I do have the number plate which is 824 TTF .
I've done about 800 miles on my Navigator, runs well enough except for one thing, tick over speed is too high.
It ticks over at around 1800 rpm, far to high.
So, I have got the bike ticking over (it last ran in 1972, so great to have her back). When I de-clutch, the engine dies, so the bike doesn't move. Would this be a timing problem or carb? I am running a Boyer electronic ignition (including coil).
Continuing to put the miles on my rebuilt Navigator engine, 650+ now. Thought I would check the accuracy of the speedo against my cycling GPS device.
I taped the devise on to the rev-counter and went for a ride.
