Re: Wassel Carbs?

I have fitted a 928 Wassel carb to my VHA. The engine runs much nicer than when the worn Amal was fitted.

Re: Wanted: Valve spring compressor side valve

Thanks for the advice. I will try to modify an old clamp, if I cant find a decent one. A valve spring compressor for a OHV engine I have for years. Just never needed a SV compressor up to now!

Re: frame -PRF- which shock absorbers ?

I fear the IKONs will be much more expensive than the Draganfly shock absorbers.

Wanted: Valve spring compressor side valve

I started work on my VB lately. To replace the valve springs I need a propper valve spring compressor for a sidevalve engine. Does anyone have that tool spare or could point me where to find one?
Thanks
Regards Klaus

Re: Grandad’s bike in Ireland

My guess would be a 1936 NH2.

Re: Two 1920s Questions

What do you think about this one. Is it a later version?

Re: 1930/40s Ariel single wanted

I was recently asked for such a bike by a german member from the Frankfurt/Main area too. These bikes seem to be very sought after by the enthusiasts. To me no such bike has come up so far!

Re: Mk2 with Morgo oil pump

Hi Chris, I did that already. With 20-50 Motul oil in the tank it reads 70 psi when cold and going up to ca 60 when the oil gets 80 degC. So I assume this is fine.
