Its a 74 CB500.Up to until 3 weeks ago it started on the 1st kick.Left for vacation, when i returned i started on the 1st kick but oil started to trickle from magneto side so after 5 minutes turned engine off. After 2 days wont start up to now.Cleaned the sparkplugs & check for spark-had good spark, then sprayed WD40 just incase rust had moved in. Removed the mufflers & found water inside then sprayed WD40 on the 4 exhaust valves just to be sure that incase insides rusted it would break the rust. Cleaned carbs, found a little water and drained fueltank to be sure.What more can I do to start up the bike, besides replacing the crankshaft oil seal to stop leak?

Space saver wheels are proven to be very dangerous.

New car company's must be forced to fit full size spare wheels as standard in their cars.

There is no law in Australia you must have a full size spare wheel in your car

I hear that many motorists were stranded for over 15 hours on the M5 due to flooding of the motorway. Shouldn't the police have tried to turn the traffic round some how. They were able to use the hard shoulder to "police" the situation. I just wonder whether they do enough? Please give me your views. I spoke to someone about this recently and they said "it wasn't exactly an emergency". To me it would be as I would not be able to cope for that long. What do you think?

First boat and first time replacing a prop. Bought the correct size Quicksilver aluminum prop and have all the parts to the hub kit in the right spot. I have tightened the last nut as tight as possible but the prop moves up and down on the shaft between 1/8 and 1/16 inch. Is this normal? If not how can I get it right?

i have a 300ex that needs case machining to fit a big bore cylinder i bought, what all does this case machining entitle? i know the goal is to accomodate a sleeve with a larger O.D. but does this have to be done professionally or can it be done with a dremel or such as long as one is careful and doesnt get any metal shavings into the bottom end of the motor?

I have a 2003 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L. Over the past week or so, I noticed the check engine light come on while in park and idling. Just prior to it coming on, the engine will all the sudden go from 750rpms to about 1300rpms then the light comes on. When I shut off the motor and then restart it again, the idle is normal and the light does not come on. I've taken it in twice to the Hyundai Dealer and had it looked at and tested but nothing comes up on the diagnostic.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
