I used a coach bolt for the B50.

At least the alignment looks good.

Anybody going to the National Rally at Hahndorf in October

skippy

Locks like no one has one apart.
To add to what I did, to get a good grip, I ground the socket end flat as it has some rounding on it. That nut is very thin.

skippy

I should add using a timing light will tell you if you are getting a spark or not. the old ones that went in series are the best. BUT they don't account for a faulty spark plug.

skippy

I got a cheap truck wheel spanner and cut the end off about 1 1/4" long and welded a larger spark plug socket on to that and it works fine.

skippy

I would go for an open cct somewhere. I have a green light in my headlamp which i connected to the power supply at the electronic ignition. It was connected to the power side of the coil before and is handy to know when power is going to the ignition system and if the ignition is on or off. I would ...

Fuel air mixture.

Call me biased but I happen to like the larger tank

I have had trouble with the small tank, having to find petrol on longer trips when other bikes can keep going.

skippy

I have one on my B50 it look exactly like that one, sold as a Norton filter. It works so far but i have direct oil pressure for the rockers.

skippy

dDdn't you tell him it was an anti-lock brake.

So he is going to ride it and lock the brake at 30Km.

skippy

My pes chain doesn’t need a tensioner

skippy

Have you heated it to break the lockit just in case?

skippy

Happy birtday again Stan hope your your still going along well.

skippy

Put a bit of oil down the bore and that's impeded the compression based on kickstart feel, I'd put the test away by then. I take it that impeded is improved, if this is so your rings are worn. I had this problem with mine, it had been started and run without the bore being checked and the rust slow...

Are 2 wheel drive sidecar rigs raced anywhere?

They are still raced in Classic motorcycle racing in Australia.

skippy

Well done. Only 1 question is the starter button on the starter motor and not remote, as i was wondering what the finger was doing on the starter when you start it?

skippy

I never found an owner and the weather was good.
Steve’s mates and his brother were there at their usual spot. They spread his ashes at that spot and this is their memorial to him.

skippy

These bikes seen at the classic. Note the hydraulic drum brake on the race bike.

skippy

I used a JE piston and rings and the engine started and run the same as it does now, it never used any oil at all.

Like Barry said merry Christmas

I have a video of one engine starting and running but I don’t know how to post it.

They are low tension ignition. It has a trip generator and ignitor in the head, which is the same as points without a condenser. As the ignition is tripped the generator generates power and then an arm flicks open the ignitor creating a spark. There is a lot of carbon in the head and the mixture can...

Yes I find the headlight on works well
