Points carrier centre screw MO 1 Magneto

Hello,
for some reasons this centre screw is worn.
It would be very helpful if someone tells me the thread size.
Drags no 110730.
Not sure but it might be 8BA. Also don't know tpi.
I would prefer use a friends lathe than ask drags.
Many thanks - Ralf

Re: Monobloc cable elbow

Hello, you are right. It's a 100.
Thank's a lot for your advise, i will check the flange.
It might be a weak mixture. However i will check the Amal 376.
Sorry again to use the forum for panther questions. Btw i own Ariels too.

Re: Monobloc cable elbow

Hello Will, its an other bike (panther, monobloc) problem, sorry for that. How would sound your analysis if a bike starts well but spits and pops when give it some revs. Rather carb or ignition.

The first phone call left me a bit in doubt.When i entered his Garage with 5 or 6 BSA all siamese, a vincent shadow on his working place almost finished another one somewhere in a corner, a bit dusty all doubts disappeared. He open...

Re: Half time pinion nut

Thank's for advise Nev. Maybe i used the wrong expression. Pretty sure i did compress the spring enough.(picture attached) Then i blocked the sprocket under the shock absorber unit against the sprocket under the clutch basket with a sufficient long piece of metal. So i could give the half time pinio...

Re: Half time pinion nut

Re: Half time pinion nut

Johnny, i did something similar. Told my son to sit on, put in the first gear and step on the rear break. Could tighten it till the clutch slipped. But the gap between the pinion and crank house is still a bit bigger than before. If this will be good enough? Thought about heating up the nut and do t...

Half time pinion nut

Hello again, sorry for a probably silly question, its the first time i had to strip a VH 500 completely. Is there another way to tighten that half time pinion nut but to block the sprocket behind the shock absorber against the clutch sprocket? Primary case is already closed - unfortunately. Would ap...
