Re: Mk2 square 4 compression test

Hi David. A compression test on my Mk1 last year, with original standard 6:1 pistons and freshly honed bores got me 100 psi on two cylinders and 105 psi on the other two. After 400 miles this rose to 108 on all cylinders. It runs really well. I would expect the Mk2 to be a bit higher. Yours seems to...

Re: Oil pump query

Hi Bevan. Could you post the dimensions of your oil pump. Plunger lengths and diameters in particular. I have a small collection of 1950's plunger pumps, and there is a small possibility that yours is amongst them. Cheers, Chris.

Re: sq4 solex-bi-starter

I use Mikuni for the main jet, 120 with a 5mm thread; and the air correction jet 150 with a 6mm thread. There may be other jets that will fit or could be adapted to fit, but my experiments have not gone that far yet.I have found genuine Mikuni jets to be very accurately made, unlike some of the genu...

Re: sq4 solex-bi-starter

For anyone interested; I have found that TePe [blue] interdental brushes, used with carb cleaner, will clean all jets and orifices in the 26 AHD except the pilot [70] which is too small, without causing damage.

Re: Square four carburettor

Hi Malcolm. One of my winter projects is to build a 26AHD. I have the main body parts; missing, jets, float, etc. I have discovered that good parts are very hard to find; and expensive. However, I'm hoping it will be in useable condition by early next year. If you haven't found one by February, cont...

Re: My heirloom '53 Square 4 Mk II: Help Needed

Hi Evan. I see that your bike has a downward pointing rear brake arm. This has proven to be dangerous, Mine was the same before I modified it; and yes it is dangerous. Forewarned by an explanation on the Draganfly website, I applied the brake hard at low speed. The brake locked solid, and would not ...
