Re: Solex Bi-starter info/parts

Hi Chris. At this point I have access to several complete, but superficially at least, well used carbs. I did not want to start taking apart, and potentially damaging, anything until I got more information on them and at least found a source for gaskets, seals, etc., and any parts that may be worn o...

Re: Solex Bi-starter info/parts

I'm having a hard time finding any reference to Solex carbs on the AOMCC site (may not be looking in the right places???). Web searches that do come up with a reference (usually Triumph rel...

Re: Black Ariel identification?

If I decide to go ahead with the project I will definitely be taking lots of 'before' pictures as, right now, it does look somewhat tired. That said, the frame appears to be intact and have all its original bracketry etc., and there is little evidence of extra bits welded on, or attempts to make it ...

Re: Black Ariel identification?

Thanks for that information Roger, I can most likely figure out all the other answers I need from the excellent resources available elsewhere on the AOMCC website. Interesting combination of Czechoslovakia and Canada - I guess with the advent of Ebay and other such websites parts from far and wide c...

Black Ariel identification?

Hello A friend of mine has acquired what appears to be (most) of a Black Ariel; reportedly of 1928 vintage. Before he tries to sell it to me, could someone at the club help with positive identification please? A decision on purchase will depend on several factors, not least of which is availability ...

I do not use any of the 'social media' sites, but thanks for the offer. The photos you posted are already very helpful.

Re: '39 Sq4 exhaust conundrum

Thanks Colin and Roger. I thought that might be the case, but wanted to make sure I hadn't made an obvious error. I did an extensive internet search, but do you think I could find a clear front-on photo of an iron head Sq4 on the internet?
