Ah, Colin, I had the same thing with the valve cap only last week! but here someone forgot to lock the pushrod adjustment, and it wound down, and the valve cap must have flown off, and jammed the inlet valve open, and no more compression, bike ran well before that! Had to take the pony express home! but all fixed now, and we had a lovely ride with the 2 G3WO's last night, but it suddenly hosed down, and had to wait 15 minutes for it to get dry, but got soaked before we got to the underpass.
The worst is taking the G3 panel tank off, as its much bigger than your G3L tank.
Might see you in Normandy, we're taking the G3's, and at least one person from the UK also, maybe we can have a G3 meet somewhere!
Jan, think you are right with the RN number, as Ron would say "artistic license" just as painting it blue, as that would never have been the case.
Cheers,
Lex

When I had to remove my tank, the wiring was a right pain. So I cut each wire in turn and fitted coloured male and female bullet connectors. It's a piece of cake now but far from original, but I don't care and it's all hidden anyway. The instructions are to pass the whole panel through the slot as you remove the tank.....Yeah right!! :thinking_face: Ron
