1961 ES2 manual?

This forum to be honest.

Mike Pemberton is the OHV singles club expert and there is not much he doesn't know if you can't get the answers on here.

There is the Norton handbook P106 that should help you as well as the Pitman and the C. Arthur Pearson books. There is also the Norton Motorcycles by Norton Motors service manager P.L.Garrast that covers all the singles and theand all the twins from 1948 to 1962.It is very comprehensive and it would be all you would need for maintenance and servicing for your ES2.

Author is P L Garratt, only know as I tried searching for Garrast and got nothing.

There is another book that is really the handbook and the workshop manual that has been incorporated into one book called Norton Service and Overhaul Manual by F.W.Neill. The ISBN number 0 850700 41 6 and it was old by almost all Norton dealers who sold spare parts. Norvil or Fair Spares used to sell this book, and I am sure it can still be obtained at auto jumbles. F.W.Neill was the service manager at Plumstead for AMC butthese manuals also incorporated the OHNV singles and all the twins.

It was a missed key mistake and itwas written P.L.Garratt of Norton Motors Ltd. This book also has over 90 illustrations. It was published by C.Arthur Pearson Ltd and this one is the fifth edition from 1962. It does notlist an ISBN number. I bought all my copies at auto jumbles.

Allen, they call them 'swap meets' in the US of A. I have attended a couple but found the bike bits to be 99% HOG.. Good Luck.

Allen:

Go here: Bruce-Main-Smith.co.uk

He should have a copy of what you need.

If all else fails, let me know at mikemill20@aol.com and I will make you a photocopy of the one I have. It is labled:

NORTON

I have the maintenance manual and instruction book (which I assume is what you have), Roy Bacons book for the history and photos, the clymer book of the Norton for SUV and ohv singles and a parts book. That just about does me, with any other questions not answered in the books posted here!

Thanks all for the information. I'll look for these online.I'm afraid autojumbles are not an option since I'm in the U.S.

I'm also sure that I'll be asking questions here. My bike is far from stock and sure to present unusual problems.

Allen I think I may have the booklet/info you require, I have a late 50's ES2 and bought but the info relates more to the early 60's featherbedsingles (50/ES2)& twins like the Atlas.

It's original in good condition, if you are still needing something contact me on brianwest57@gmail.com
