yeah i got the gears working ok, when i split the case i tried to leave them in the case half and pull them out as one unit but it just fell out coks every were, took me 2 hours to get them what i thaught was right, any way when i took it to a bike shop to get the crank pulled back into the bearings i put in he, said i had done ok ,
one thing im unsure of is that yesterday i found i had a washer left on the work top, it just appeared from nowere, realy i had tryed realy hard to get this build right, and at no point had i seen this washer before, next thing i know i just moved the case i was working on and it was there, its the same oily colour as the rest of the washers out of the bike so it must be from it, and i havnt done this in a workshop or shed or anything with washers,it all got done in my kitchen,iv been back througth the user manual and i cant think wherte it came from, its a realy thin one the kind that would usualy go between a cog and the case half, or if you like a moving part and one that doesnt move, its done my head in bcos of all my hard work the fact is i shouldnt have this washer and it means that realy i havent done it right,not a good job,the washer is about the same size as a golf ball and 1mm thin and 3mm on the flat part.
when i look at how the bike is built i can understand why every washer is there and what its role is , and if your life depended on it that some washers if they wasnt in the engine couldnt cause to much of a problem, i think!?!?!? .. i just hope that this washer is one of them, but i havent seen this size anywhere in the engine or i would of put it back, i would say that tha inner hole on the washer is ,about a inch and a 1/4 , ---- 1-1/4 " so it was i little to big for the crank, and its size, and maybe the gearing, possibly the round selector , with the grooves in that the gearing cogs get pushed up and down from, who knows, but i never seen it before
