Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could possibly help with the supply or source of supply for a pair of rockers to suit a 1930 Norton 500cc (Model20)

Hi all........my 1953 ES2 has a new (ish) Amal 376/1716 monobloc carb.

Looking back on my PC last night, I came across a photo labelled 3 bearing crank.

I have no further information on it, but I suspect it might have been something Kenny Dreer had been working on way back.

Hello. I hope someone may be able to help me track down what I think is the factory drawing for the slimline featherbed. The attached pdf shows part of the drawing I am talking about. Does anyone have the whole drawing?

Here's a problem which challenges my intuitions about the laws of nature — and definitely contravenes Sod's Law:

I wonder if anyone can give me their opinion on the attached image.

Hi all,

Changed these for cheeseheads from allen sockets have fitted 6x1” long from 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock, remaining 6 are 1 1/4”, they all pull the case up tight.

hi. I have had problems with righthand smoking after rebuild the crank was balanced and has seven 10m holes and one 5m hole more on the right side, I wonder if its throwing up to much oil under the piston ? thanks bryan.

I rebuilt my gearbox a long time ago, but I only just "finished" the bike - a relative term.

Help please I have a dominator 88 1960 slimline v5c states the colour black mudguards are black oil tank battery box black Can anyone tell me what colour the petrol tank should be 

Thanks Ian 

Running my newly rebuilt '61 ES2, the voltage at the Wassel rectifier box out wires (with the rectifier disconnected from the battery/system)  is about 6-7 v at idling, but drops as the revs increase!!

After maybe 1000 miles of use over a few years, my throttle slide started becoming reluctant to drop cleanly when closing the throttle. It turns out that the return spring is not the current type.

I’m rebuilding my jubilee (early engine) following both the manual and Mike Marriott’s photo guide. In frame 5 of the guide it says to “prize cylinder head clamp plates (washers below) from heads”.

In the NOC shop part no. SS14 C3 041323L is described as "Petrol tap: Lightweights only: 7/16 petrol tank thread - Use 1/8 BSP fittings: Lever type: All metal plated brass, New".

Please can someone advice me what is the correct method for getting 75/70 ft lb torque onto stator and clutch nuts during a renovation!

Good morning all.  I've been doing some work on the cylinder heads of my Navigator.  I see that the "inner pillars" that support the rocker spindles have top hat shaped bushes pressed in to place, see photos.

Hi there. Ordering some bits and bobs for a gearbox rebuild, club only had 2 items, total only £12, so I thought I'd add a DVD to make it worthwhile. Went to the DVD section, selected my DVD, went to my basket, the gearbox bits had disappeared.

Hi all, please help! I have an imported Norton Atlas which came with NOVA papers but DVLA have refused to provide a V5 registration document without proof of year of manufacture. Any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks

Thinking of putting a hole in cover to access clutch pushrod adjuster, case already thin there from i imagine a previously loose clutch. Anybody know the hole diameter to accept the genuine Norton grommet. Thanks

I'm putting a 1947 ES2 engine together at the moment. I've been looking at the design of the oil feed around the engine. The top end rocker shafts seem to only be oil mist fed as there is no supply or way of returning oil to scavenge.

I have a combined electronic ammeter and voltmeter on my Jubilee and I run 6 volt electrics through a modern rectifier/regulator.

The voltmeter reading and power (illumination) to the meter are fine.

Well done to all involved in setting up and running the first AGM on line.  It went very well on the whole and it was great to hear from John Russell interim CEO of Norton.

Please could somebody help? Would I be right in saying that with the key in Position 2 (Ignition and lights), all 4 terminals of the Master switch should be 'live'.

Thanks   Roger

Hi, I've a 750 with high compression head, quick action throttle and a pair of handed 930 concentrics.

Main jet 220. Needle jet 106 which are both correct according to Haynes manual.

Hi All,

I read in The Classic Motorcycle mag an article on a plunger ES2 in which the owner, Jim Hill, had fitted a strengthening plate across the two pivots of the front brake drum to increase braking efficiency by stiffening the plate. Has anyone got an

I had to buy one of the new manufacture Mk3 gearbox shells, as my original was cracked.
