1935 Ariel VA

Post by Les Carter »

I've been checking over my new acquisition, changed the oil and checked filters in tank and sump both very clean. Removed the sludge trap and again all very clean. The sludge trap threads showed signs of threadlock, should I use it? I am happy I got it good and tight.

It must be the VA from DR Motorcycles, looked good on the website.
I've never used loctite on the plug just do it up tight.

Yes it is the VA from DR Motorcycles I am very pleased with it.
Thanks I will leave the sludge trap as it is with no threadlock.
