A fine selection of screws beat, keeping up the BSA tradition of using what you have....I must have a butchers at the circuit sometime, rather busy building the shed at the moment though....

Why two oil tanks?

Micro relays in the UK here or any motor factors.

Looks like a 1970 Starfire to me. Engine and frame numbers are always handy. To value it from a couple of photos and no other info is neigh on impossible, it is worth what someone will pay (an answer as good as the question), it is a rolling chassis with an engine of unknown provenance, so somewhere...

不客气

Ian, this might be worth a look...

Way to go Ian!

The winner is the one with the most bikes, and you have to have a single, twin and a triple!

OK, similar, but not the same...crimp rather than solder, but still with the heat shrink from Vehicle Wiring Products here . Terminals are normally crimped because solder wicks up the wire strands and forces the flex to occur at the point where the solder stops, which work hardens quickly and breaks...

Gunnag and ubert767 give sound advice, these looms last about 30 years, so whatever you do it will be ok. As wiring is (relatively) easy, wire it how you like with your own preferences. Neg earth gives slightly more options for accessories especially if using modern electronics. Modern connectors ar...

Internal diameter is important for damping too

13 years, only just started....

GRP tank? I assumed it was Al. It doesn't look too bad all thing considered...nothing time and money won't cure. I notice your flickr photos are more advanced than your reports here, looking forward to the "after" photos...

Thanks kommando, I'll go back to bed.....

There is nothing like fitting a bigger fuse if the original one keeps blowing! You will soon need an auxiliary engine to power your electronics Beat!! If you mounted it in the handle bars, you could have heated grips!!

Joking aside, have you got a new circuit?

I recall there was a mod to the selector forks....or am I imagining things again....Nurse! I need more medication!!

It wouldn't be the first time the parts list didn't make sense....

I think the idea is to compress the rubber without pulling the tank down, that way the tank is held in place by the squashed rubber as it rests on the frame top tube, rather than pinching in down between the top of the tank and the saddle rubbers on the bottom.

Its those metric thread inserts Beat, I know they would get you in the end!!

I am told I need to refit the auto advance/retard mechanism and contact breaker plate as these form part of the engine's breathing system No, who told you that? Theoretically the cam spindle (not the A/R unit) acts a a timed breather. However, it is generally accepted that engines with a capacity g...

To remove the engine from my Guzzi you keep the engine still and remove the frame.....I have a sneaky feeling we are getting a little

to the forum Peter 62.

Would you edit your profile and let everyone know roughly where in the world you are please?

What are you building? Tell us a bit about yourself, maybe start a topic in "Project Bikes" and/or post some pictures...

Everyone is invited!

Not just in Africa, this happens in every shed and garage across the globe. beat uses metric threads!

beat, I put a trench in across the garden and threw everything in, services to the shed include water, power, data, telephone, sewage and oil for heating, so yes, heating is planned but not this year! Having erected the shed I'm on a promise to fix the house up (new stair case etc) before working on...

Well, its been a while, I have a new place, and here is a picture of the beast (in the van), having a brief introduction to its new home (like the beast, its still under construction!)....Anyone for shed envy?

:laugh spolling woz nevr my stronguest arset! :ban But what about that engine number? Most weird numbers can be explained away by lone armature engine builders, but I am intrigued by this. No doubt competition engines had their own numbers, but what about development engines, or ones being used for ...

<135 to the forum Motobellini1098 . I have moved your post to a separate topic in Tech as it was only tenuously connected to the topic in which you posted, not sure if it belongs here either, but it should get more views.. Would you please update your profile and let everyone know roughly where in t...

reinforce the cases as a prophylactic...

500 to 650 doesn't sound much, but it is a 30% increase. Are you doing anything to the head/carb? What about the transmission, will it be able to handle all that additional power?

The Everlasting Lozenge is a neat topic, no dimensions as such, but if you message lathejack, some may be forthcoming.

At your service

Have you seen this?

Thanks kommando, why didn't I think of Chris P? There is a link at the top of the page!!!

<135 to the forum JerryT Hope someone comes up with your bits or a source, I'm sure they will but origonal indicators are almost impossible to find, but the patternones are almost indistinguishable. Would you update your location in your profile please? It helps to let everyone know roughly where in...

Oops.

Hear, hear!

Well spotted Skippy...

to the forum homebrew123, I have removed your numbers because this is a public forum and there a lot of weirdos out there!

Good luck with your hunt, as with most things there is nothing that time and money won't cure.
