Re: Kickback problems
Someone wants to be a bright spark. True though. The best of motors won't run nice without a good Magneto. Nev

Re: Here we go again....
For the fits we are talking of, a feeler gauge is satisfactory. If the fit is a Bit Marginally tight it will take ages to wear much metal off and be ready to pull the clutch in if it does or you might chuck it down the road as well as damage the bore and piston skirt. We ride bikes faster than they ...

Re: Single Breather
It's good to have a one way valve on the breather pipe to prevent dust going in there if you are idling on a dirt road. Unless your rings are doing a very good job you will get crankcase pressure with the original sized holes on the breather. You can always run with one (or both)of the rocker caps ...

Re: No lugs on vh rigid,, has anyone welded new ones on
Nickel Bronze is fine for building up a surface OR attaching a new Part. Avoid welding near a Braised frame join. IF you burn the Braise (over heat it) you weaken the Metal. Welding on the side of a tube can cause some shrinkage at the Part welded. Peening the welded part as you go can avoid that to ...

Re: 1928 Mod A/B restoration help needed
The correct place to measure the Piston size is at the Bottom of the skirt at right angles to the gudgeon Pin. Piston types are solid skirt, T slot and W slot and "invar" strutted (some car pistons). I prefer full skirted and solid. Highly relieved at the sides( Called Slipper pistons) need more oil ...

Re: clutch push rod movement
Be the same as any BAP. Just have about 3/16th free Play at the Hand lever tip and about 1/8th extra travel of the rod after contact. Kickstarter will confirm the Plates have freed up. Take the clutch cover off and Make sure the springs are set so it separates evenly and you can kick it against ...
