Hi!

I have a tank for a 1952. It has been welded on the RH side. Maybe not to be chromed, but very nice for painting.

Currently I am not at home, when I am back on Monday I could send photos.

I am located in Austria.

Cheers

Hermann

Thanks a lot - that is on the spot what I was asking for !!!

Great !

I use the needle jet .106 with a throttle valve No. 5 in my 1930 LF. With a main jet 85 - 90 for modern fuel I think. The bike runs very well.

Hi!

I have searched through the documents, but can’t find the correct setting data and jets for a 4/012 carb of a 1930 LF 250.

Especially needle jet size would be interesting.

Thanks in advance !

Thanks for the comments, as it’s not my first Ariel Single I am doing now, I am aware of these things. As I never had bad experience with the lubricantion system, I haven’t too much familiarized myself with it. I cleaned the oil pressure valve again, fitted the old version seal and also the original...

What still worries me is the fact that - based on all your comments - I haven’t found the root cause for my failing bigend. What i had in was: 1) VH - steel crank, all the oilways were free, it was an old one but got a new cage and repaired 2) 1938 timing cover with the pressure regulator fitted, th...

Hermann, As you have an early timing case the ports behind the pump are different to the later type which has a milled slot between the feed port and the port leading to the quill/crankshaft. The elongated slot in the gasket shown in the your picture is for the later timing case. If your case looks...

Do you have the 38 cam cover ? If so the original adjustable oiler must be fitted to that case. you can't just block the exterior hole or oil just escapes out into the cam area. You would show no oil pressure either. The quill is not likely to be any problem. It doesn't rely on it being a good fit....

Hi Hermann I'm no expert on the earlier bikes but there don't seem to have been different quills for VH/VG, just a change after 1940 for all models (as per Paul's notes). There are several other threads about quills in the forum. None of them directly addresses your problem but there is some discus...

Hello Hermann, Do you mean the quill feed to the big end? I think there were 2 different sizes, changed around the year of your bike. An expert will be along shortly. Hope I understood your problem, you could post a picture would help ? BR Paul Yes, I mean the quill of the crankshaft. The bearing t...

Dear all! I have put a prewar VH-crank into my 38 VG. After short time of the big end became noisy. I took it into pieces, the oilways inside the crank were not blocked, a new Morgo plunger pump was fitted, so this all was good. What I detected is, that the hole in the crankpin into which the plug f...
