Hi Jared- i found this link about "Markings on Lee Enfield Rifles". http://www.allaboutenfields.co.nz/history/markings/ Could it possibly be GR and not GA? I also found this link regarding GRP (George Rex Proof). https://www.thefirearmsforum.com/threads/help-identifying-old-military-rifle.144001/ Hope this helps.

hi this normal when an engine has not been used for a while the engine and more so the exhaust collects moister thus when engine start blowing the condensation out causing grey smoke to come out till the engine gets to normal temperature

In order to run smoothly an engine must have the correct air/fuel ratio and the correct ignition timing. A lean air/fuel mixture and/or advanced ignition timing can have a very big effect on the smoothness of an engine...

Check to see if the timing is set correctly.

Use volt meter on battery and see if regulator/rectifier is fully charging battery. Should read over 13 volts at about 2500 rpms. if not , bad re/rec. If it does, then it's probably bad battery, take to local shop to test. Should be a free test at places like Autozone, Pep Boys etc.

Look for a shorted wire inside the handle bars.

might be two issues there relay clicking under the seat area or stator for battery recharge system faulty

Hi if you are talking about sliding the grips on,some people use a little mixture of water and washing up liquid,all the best.

check the filter sounds like it is dirty

TDC should put piston 1 to its highest position with valves closed (compression). 5.16 BTDC if you don't have the markings on the flywheel and the engine block, you should make them anywhere and use them as reference markings. Hope it helps.

Hi, You should find that there is a screw in switch situated at the back of the gearbox. A single wire leading to it from the neutral indicator. The switch I believe is plastic so be gentle when removing it. The switch is probably stuck in one position and may just need cleaning. Cheers Stan

you need a fly press or a bigish vise. Use alloy strips or blocks each side, one on bend point and one each side (say) 150-200mm away. Tighten vise until leg bends a little, release vise and see if returns to same point as you started. If yes then you need just a little more force. I stress that you want to straighen the bend by the smallest amount with each pump. Doing it on a hydraulic press with extreme caution would be even better. Take time to do job slowly.

is it chain drive, if so could be a tight spot on the chain, try lubing it if this works then probably need a new chain and sprockets

check any high or rough spots on rotor or drums or pads

Dont do it your self. Teppet does not need to set for 5 years(18000kms),
If engine is healthy,
Yet if you want to know, the clearance should be 0.15 mm at TDC of compression stroke.

Check Points and Condenser.

1. Fuel, Air and the lines.
2. Tune your vehicle and get fuel especially from reputed brands like SHELL
3. If water has entered your fuel tank this will happen, I mean Backfire and no response. This is till the water or air clears you know
4. Service your vehicle from a person who is a specialist in Enfield's not any one.
