VMCC West Wilts Scamper - Invitation to the AOMCC

Morning folks, I'd like to cordially invite AOMCC members in the South West of England and beyond to participate in this new event. Its focused on trying to get folk to dig out their girder fork bikes from the back of the shed and get them used, but also accommodates smaller capacity machines. Nice ...

Re: KH Carburation Saga

Jetting would be different for a carb with or without an air filter. A carb jetted for an open mouth will be chucking far too much fuel in if you then put an air filter on it.

Re: 1920 Ariel

It also has the black and silver paint job Roger which I think was only the 1920 season.

1920 Ariel

Thought I'd show you my 1920 (or maybe 1919) Ariel roadster now its mostly complete. Going to get it registered now, then its full speed ahead for the final push.

Re: 1930 Model B Running Problem

Yeah - a bit too close to the exhaust tappet. Must have been just hitting it at speed. Readjusted so that it lifts the exhaust valve just before the control level hits the handlebars and all is golden.

Re: 1930 Model B Running Problem

So, I have concluded the investigate by returning to the scene of the crime - I readjusted the valve lifter - hesitation gone. Just need to put the carburation back to where it was. Thanks to all that tried to help.

Re: KH 500 Petrol in the inlet rubber

Petrol won't leak out unless the engine is stopped. The inlet runs under vacuum so will suck air in. Not a good idea.

Re: 1952 VH Project

General consensus on the AOMCC FB page is to start at £2k - so if there is any interest out there that's the starting point for negotiations. Drop me a PM if you are interested.
