Here we go again.

So now all the warm fuzzy posts are done, back to business.
This buzzing is driving me nuts, I was told and also read elsewhere that apart form rattly bits, of which there are many, the buzzing may be due to a small leak from under the head, well last night I decided to take a look and the small leak I spotted a few weeks ago may have developed into a slightly bigger leak, there is spatter in a few spots, the head, exhaust and on the frame near it, and curiously on the shock spring which is weird, maybe the clutch breather?? sorry pictures to come, So now I am being forced into sorting it out before it gets worse. I will be pulling, cleaning and lapping the cylinder head and since I will have it off, will replace the studs and nuts, I will probably pull the cylinder off and tidy that up too.
Also today for no apparent reason my front brake shoes started rubbing on the inside of the drum, I stopped for fuel and loosened the nut that fixes the cable end and released the shoes, they still rubbed????? how so? got me stuffed until I pull the wheel off and take a look, I'll have a look at lunch time but will most likely wait until I get home, will be a gentle ride with not having front brakes.
History tells me that as soon as I start doing some work I will find something else and so it will all begin again, I say again that I am reluctant to delve too deep until my GT is sorted.
Gloria is running so well too...with the GT repair a month away. Fingers crossed. Photos to come.
