British Bikes / Panther M100 head issues
« on: December 03, 2022, 02:32:48 AM »
Pretty amazing coincidence that as I go to pose a question here, the latest query is also Panther related.
Today I went to go out on my Panther. It wouldn't start, no compression, exhaust valve stuck open. So I pulled the head off (a pig of a job with the chair on) to discover that what was holding the exhaust open was the valve seat that had dropped out. I'd had the hardened seats fitted many years and many thousands of miles ago.
What's the group wisdom on getting this fixed?
