Service Description

Classic car tune up and roadworthiness check over In this morning class, you and up to two others will be checking over your classic cars under the watchful eye of Hodgetech who will help and guide you through it. In the company of like-minded enthusiasts. We’ll start with the electrical system, checking things like contact breaker (points) condition and setting the appropriate gap, checking spark plugs, and a general heath check of the system. Then we’ll look at the engine and drive train. Oil levels, leaks, and lubrication. We’ll look at checking and setting the valve clearance (if it’s possible without shims. If not, we can make a list of what you need after measuring). We’ll also have a look at the fuel system. Check the tank, lines, and filters, and then have a balance of the carbs. Then we’ll go through the suspension looking at condition of the joints and rubber bushings. We’ll check tyre condition, wheel condition, spokes(if you have any), have a look at the brake operation, and service life, and check for any signs of leakages. Once we’re done you can be confident of happy motorcycling for the next season, or have a (hopefully) short list of jobs to do. All done mainly by you, so you get the satisfaction of doing it yourself and the knowledge to do it again in the future.
