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.

Re: ARIEL VG500 Drawing

Living where you do, I would strongly recommend trying to attend the Austrian Rally at the end of July. Details are in Cheval de Fer. There will be a large number of very enthusiastic and experienced Ariel owners there and a good selection of Ariels for you to compare with your own.

Re: KH 500 Petrol in the inlet rubber

My 1954 KH has a monobloc carb and the air filter. It would amaze me if my air filter rubber was a decent seal onto the carb. Turn on the petrol, shut the air slide and give the carb a very brief tickle and she will fire up and run reliably, usually first kick. I think your only problem has been hol...

Re: ARIEL VG500 Drawing

Hello Bert, Knowing where you are, and what you mean by OEL would help us to help you. For instance, if by OEL you mean oil, then the oil pressure gauge as fitted to your bike is something I can usually repair, but it isn't normally worthwhile to send it from (say) India to here in the UK for that p...

Re: Ariel Factory Despatch records

My analysis for the 1933 model year suggests that zero Square Fours went to the USA that year, although 22 went to Canada, representing 5% of Square Four production that year.

Like Roger, I do not anticipate more research during the summer months.

Re: 1930 Model B Running Problem

If you have a spare slide with a greater cutaway, try that. Modern fuels seem to be requiring changes from standard carburation and richness of mixture at small throttle openings appears to be one of the problems, to me at least.

Re: Hartley Ariel in Auction

The late Mr R Saunders told me that he had scrapped the prf converted frame which came with Peter Ferbrache's 250.
