Re: KH Carburation Saga

The two-stroke monobloc often has an angled spray tube in the jet block and different needle jets (with no cross-hole?), If you've been trying to get a two-stroke carb to run on a four-stroke engine it might be troublesome....

Re: Alloy head

Dean As Will says, this isn't an straightforward exchange of one head for another. On a pre-1952 cylinder barrel, the barrel spigot won't fit the head (not without being ground to reduce the size anyway). A '52-'55 350 barrel will have the right sized spigot (I think, it's definitely smaller, does t...

Also a very snazzy quickly-detachable mirror mounting in the right-hand handlebar end!! On a different note, is that combined throttle twistgrip and ...

Re: Spotted at Shepton

And as there's a been some discussion of HT3's here's a new one that was for sale (along with a couple of interesting Italian off-roaders).
