Re: 350 NH carburation
Nev - agreed undoubtable better but not quite as original. A Honda engine is better but only one person I know has replaced his Ariel engine with one. I use a MKII Amal on my sporty 500 , which is even better but even less original.

Re: Ariel Motorcycle a History 1870 -1967 on Utube
Bloody terrible, please give it a thumbs down, not artistic freedom but a load of pictures of bikes with Ariel stuck on the tank, I had to stop watching, too painful.

Re: 1930 Model B Running Problem
Always check the last job you did, 9 times out of 10 it is something to do with that. Best bit of wisdom I received as a young lad.

Re: Black Ariel identification?
W is 1928 and engine 8125 was a model B despatched to Czechoslovakia in frame W 9250. Frame W 1180 went to Toronto as a model A with engine W 2927. I doubt if there are many parts in Canada but Ariels of this period are better served than any other make so if this era of bikes takes your fancy an Ar...

Re: 1930 Model B Running Problem
In that case, when something has changed suddenly or very quickly it cannot really be wear, usually something has fallen off or broken. I would certainly be fiddling with the carb, try one of another bike. I don't know of Ariel fitting BTH mags except on early KH models, although they would fit anyt...

Re: 1930 Model B Running Problem
Hi tony, I have had a similar sensation with machine that runs fine but on a moderate steady throttle, not accelerating or decelerating, it sort of hesitates. My searches told me that it was probably running a little rich, I must admit that it isn't annoying enough to have done anything about it as ...

Re: Hartley Ariel in Auction
Interesting in that the register has a record of the engine in this bike being fitted to a 1954 KH PRF frame dated July 1981. Whatever this frame is it isn't a PRF one, the number may be hidden under the paint. Comparing it to photos of the bike that it purports to be in Hartley's book, taken in 195...

Re: Question about Altette horn
Not easy as the copies are really quite good. The originals will have a small triangle of Tufnol attached to the terminals with a month and year of manufacture impressed. There are of course modern copies made with 'Lucas' on them that are officially sanctioned by the trade mark owner and so are gen...
