What-If total breakdown
Had the outlet/inlet rod fail on an Enfield in middle of Nubra Vally near Pakistan boarder in India. Hid it behind a rock and next day two helpful Germans helped me toe it to town. Mech did a seriously questionable botch job which resulted in the outlet rod blowing a hole in the head the size of a two penny piece on a ride the next day. Should have walked away from that bike there and then but you live and learn. In the end switched the entire head and was enough to get me back to Leh over kardungla, one of the highest motorable passes in the world. Now to remember it, I ran out of fuel 1k from the top and had to push it to the summit and then coast down to Leh with a full moon for a headlight.
