Hi chaps, as previously discussed Mrs Berin has entered the murky world of Airhead ownership with a GS Basic Kalahari. It had some work done about 4 years ago, including a service by NOG but has more of less stood since then.
After draining and changing the fuel and giving the carbs a bit of a clean, it started and ran fine, but with an odd noise somewhere in the region of the timing chain cover. We shipped the bike up to Steptoe for a service and fettle, and Steptoe can hear the noise but not identify it. He has noticed the timing chain cover has been off at some point as it's sealed with black goo, but rather than start to delve deeper and find what what may be more major work needed, he's recommended we try to find someone who might be able to identify the noise and provide an idea of might be needed.
Can anyone offer any advice or help please? We're in South Oxfordshire, but I've I can put it in a van if someone would be kind enough to have a listen, and I also have a sound recording where the noise can be heard
hopeful!
