Re: Wanted: Oil pump for '56 NH
As I have said previously on this Forum, the oil pump is the best lubricated part of the engine so why should it wear out? My 1937 Red Hunter continues to run satisfactorily with its original oil pump after over 40,000 miles in my ownership and goodness knows how many miles before I got the bike whi...

Re: MK1 sq 4 con rod nuts torque setting
For the original Ariel rods it is 260 ins/lbs so divide by 12 for ft/lbs. This comes from an Ariel Works drawing which gives the only 6 known torque spanner loadings for Ariels. The end float for the cranks (ie measured on the timing side main bearing) is 0.002" to 0.004". This is quoted i...

Re: No Oil Pressure on Gauge? 1950-350 NH
I wouldn't bother re-connecting that gauge. Oil pressure on a single is typically 10 to 15psi so it will hardly register. The gauge is not original but it is of the basic style used in 1950 with a needle pivot at the edge of the gauge rather than in the centre. It is worth taking off the oil pump to...

Re: 1928 Tank Template
The only reference I know of comes from the 1928 parts list. The white area is a reflection ! Do it as you fancy, or have available, in terms of colours then swear blind it is as per original. When someone convinces you that you are wrong, they may have the answer.

Re: Solex carburettor
I have never had a single taper volute spring like Pete Silson's as both mine have been from Drags and symmetrical. I don't recollect ever having a problem with them beyond a tendency for the butterfly to remain very slightly more open than I would have wished. Curing this is a matter of getting the...

Re: Solex carburettor
The same arrangement is used on the cast iron 4G. For both of my 4Gs, I have used the volute spring and found it satisfactory. I understand the preference for the coil tension spring but wonder whether it isn't a greater hazard if or when the spring breaks. The coil tension spring on Madam's 1927 St...

Re: Ariell NH350 Chaincase problem
The chainwheel is definitely on the wrong way round. It should be as per Mick D's posting. I would suggest trying building in the frame. It is not uncommon for the chaincase to move somewhat when you tighten up the nut on the clutch end of the long gearbox pivot bolt - the chaincases are surprisingl...

Re: Mystery Front Wheel Hub
I am with Dave on this. It looks very like the hub which came with my Red Hunter and is now probably on the front of Geoff Brown's 1928 Model C. I did a straight swop with the late John Bryant around 1988.
