Cheers folks - that gives me a head start.

Is there anywhere a template for the 1928 petrol tank paint? I've looked on the Danish website but they don't have one.

And anyone advise on the pinstripe colours? I was planning to match the blue to the transfer (Its a Model D), but the gold/yellow? Any thoughts?

I was at the auction too Robert. Glad its gone to someone who will use it. Not a bad price either I think. I didn't win the lot I was after, but then it wasn't an Ariel...

Cleaned up the carb for my 1920 Ariel today. Think its come up quite nice. Its a Brown and Barlow needleless carb with air and fuel slides. It has one jet - shown by the carb.

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 ...

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.

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

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.

Which one is you Karol?

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.
