Don't suck any stones in the and put them under the belt.

My bike had been fired up buy the importer without checks and sold to someone else, then i got it. It ran for about 150 miles and started losing compression. It had rust in the cylinder which acted as grinding paste Thankfully there was no problems with the bottom end and gearbox except for the outp...

You will be amazed what crap can be in the frame i rinsed mine with diesel and finished with petrol making sure the fumes had gone before putting it back together.

skippy

i'm with Beat. As the kickstart goes throw the clutch. But if you kick it again and it it does nothing then i will change back to the clutch.

Silicone lasts a year or 2 at least with me, I use it with the heat fin on the pipe butted up to the head.

I hammered out aluminium to match the wear in the head pushed it in around the pipe and hold it with a heat fin, it has a small leak which leaves a small stain over time.

Sad Days the All British rally has been canceled along with everything else.

skippy

That's a good cheap bike

skippy

That's the good thing about a B50 with compression release they are very easy to kick over all they need is a push with the leg.

skippy

I use 98 in all my small engines because its the only thing that lasts in the tank. I had to ride home after running out of fuel once after my mate gave me some of his 91 and it was crawl and steady on the throttle or massive pinking.

skippy

I saw a new one on face book for $300 steel and $370 for alloy.

skippy

I turn the throttle stop up half a turn on mine to start it when its cold and tun it back when the engine warms up.

skippy

Are tanks worth that much?

skippy

This is getting serious

skippy

How many francs will it sell for?

skippy

You just add thicker oil in the digger one.

skippy

I bought mine from Brit spares in New Zealand but the inside diameter of one was a little smaller than the other one, buy not enough to stop them working.

skippy

You've done it again

skippy

I have a bolt, a tube that goes over the bolt, then a washer, the rubber and another washer, then the nut. None of these items are genuine bsa parts.

skippy

Nicely done.

skippy

You could start a bike B&B.

How many times do people take off the tappitt cover in there lives? How hard do you need to torque down it down?
My primary cover comes off more often and its not helicoiled. For those of us how don't ride 1000s of Km a year is it worth helicoiling the head. If you do strip a thread then do it.

skippy

I had binding on my B50 after the crank had been apart and it turned out to be the torque figure I gave my mechanic was wrong a bit more torque on the crank nuts and all was well.

skippy

Will it change the starting technique with the extra compression resistance created by the increase of capacity?

skippy

One of these days I will try to post the black & white photos of that bike and maybe the others from the good ol' days. It really was a better time. If you have a mobile phone (cell phone) with a camera you can take a photo of you old photos and post them that way or you can do it with a digital ca...

skippy

Is it the hose or the slave cylinder causing the problem. The hose is easy to replace but the slave cylinder could be difficult. What break fluid are you using in it?

skippy

you have done a good job on it, patience and persistence has paid off.

skippy

I don't know if I would strap an electronic ignition module to a regulator heat sink.

skippy

I got a pay pal refund for the gasket i ordered and no other correspondence.

skippy

I've got a norton spin on filter on my B50

skippy

I have had oil in engines for years and never had a problem. I had a 44 gallon drum of oil for 8 years that i used to change the oil in my jackaroo with.

skippy

Britgaskets make some really good stuff. Check out their primary drive gaskets. Their website is under construction, today (08OCT19) this link may be better for BSA stuff, and this one for their gasket home page. These links could change once the site is sorted, or it maybe that the standard link w...

skippy

Looks good and we will be waiting to see the race results

skippy

I take it that you replaced the fuse and then tried to start the bike. If this is the case then do you have a spark at the plug?
Check the wiring around the condenser. Can you use a multi meter?

The part i used to fit the thread comes from a mig welder but i can't remember the exact part.
If i can find it i will post it

I am looking for a flexible membrane for a Holly fuel pressure regulator. It must be flexible and thin.

skippy

Glue for the light and spring washer for the headlight mounting.

skippy

You can drink it for me I have given it up.

skippy

I would like to thank the English for not adopting bodyline In the last 2 tests and sorry about not being able to take the ashes back.

skippy

Look at the specs of the BMS as it should control the charging of the batteries. The lithium battery I have just says to use a charger of 14.4V the BMS does the rest.
