Re: Any clue?
Phelon and Moore's engines were stamped with the identification mark of the builder - my Panther 650 mill was built by Jack Wilkinson. Totally unrelated to this thread but how many folk have a picture of the chap that put their engine together? Jack is second from left - a reassuringly experienced l...

Re: Gearlever on a VB600
How about welding a section into it? If its ali then its only a question of reshaping and polishing the section to match - my tig wont do ali welding but Im fortunate in having a fabrication place nearby and its the sort of thing hed do for the price of a beer or two. He did an excellent job on an A...

Accurate setting per the instructions can be a faff needing a timing disc/strobe set-up but to be honest I simply relied on the felt tip mark on the pick up they came with.

Re: VB600 starting issues
How much are you tickling the carb? Since getting two Ariels recently - one a 1937 500 OHV the second a 51 (52 spec) VB600 (the ex-Sam Larkman 260,000 mile one) I have found that they are both particularly prone to flooding unlike my other bikes.
