Apparently Mr Garner has been ordered to pay back 14 million pounds by the pensions ombudsman for dishonestly fleecing people.  

Massive thanks to David, Richard, Robert, Ian and of course Anna J.

Please could someone advise me what notch the float needle should be in on a 276 Amal. Top or bottom. 1935 Es2. Many thanks.

Finally rolled my finished (?) 65 Jubilee out for the obligatory photo’s.  It’s taken a while and I’m waiting for a new Boyer ignition box (don’t ask!) before starting it.

Im sure I’ve seen this somewhere but can’t find it! can anyone confirm which pipe is the feed and which the return to on the junction block that joins to the crankcase adjacent to the oil pump? 

Thanks

Can someone explain the little adaptor thingy found joining the long oil tank hose to the short oil tank hose on my  74 Mk 2a ?  I have recently had the engine rebuilt but as far as i can see it doesn"t have one . Should it.  Should i worry?

Anyone know any stockist that might stock LF Harris pipes?

Hi, rather than pay the best part of £50 for a specialist tool I may use once if lucky and 2 or 3 times if not,  has anyone found a multipurpose adjustable tool that can do the job?

I have just aquired a 1937 16H "project". Could any one please tell me the correct carb choke size etc for it? I think it is the civilian version.

Thanks.

My 2018 Sport has just been dynoed with reasonable results of 70BHP at the rear wheel and 58ft/lbs of torque - OK ish, but my main concern was the feedback that the fueling was "dangerously" lean.

Three different named guys are selling the same machine!

Has anyone tried to renew their insurance lately? I had a letter from Carole Nash a few days ago and the price of cover has gone up by £78.

I decided to take the Norton out for a short run this morning - only 10 miles or so around the Worcs / Warks lane (and to buy a small battery which was my excuse).

Hi everyone,

I know this is not unusual to have oil leaking from the engine for a 1943 16H, but is it usual for the whole oil tank to drain into the engine and onto the garage floor, (missing my oil tray of course!) over a week?

Its thanks to Chris Harvey’s hard work that I now have two brand new rear chain gaiters.

See Evil bay and all the Norton's from Italy advertised!

Including a Norvin! 500 cc Comet engined machine. I knew someone who tested a Comet, in the day and declined it because he considered it was too fast!

Does anyone know, or has anyone successfully fitted a gearwheel speedo drive to a Manx conical hub? I have a hub I am considering using for road use but need/want to fit a speedo drive.

The NOc website seems to be hanging and the Spares Scheme section will not scroll for me!

Cheers

Hi 

I’ve just finished rebuilding a 1952 Model 7 Plunger and I’m having trouble starting it. Basically not a hint of any firing at all.

This has probably been asked before but can anyone tell me when a cafe racer conversion of a Dominator would be constituted as "substantially changed?"

For those of you steeped in British Celtic mythology, you will of course know that the island celebrated the undersea God Mannanan, sometimes given the name Mannanan mac Lyr, anyhow this appeared to me in an inspirational moment and I then knew de

Where is a good parts place for Donington Norton live in the US

 Here are two of my modified front brake plates, one that fits over the hub, 1955? and one that fits in the hub. later!

HI all  A question . Is a full width front hub off a domi 99 .The same as a 1969 ss commando hub . 

hello can you wait to taste that first pint of draft  beer at the back of your throat and nicely slips down  HaHa  that nice taste of fresh beer    Now the Pub will be back open and the Meeting will be back after July 4th    and Show then can be p

Well, I know this has come up before, Connecting Rod durability and that there is polishing and shot-peening and tuftriding  and Nitriding.

My 56 Dominator 99 has stood for nearly 5 years without being run.

I opened the primary chain case drain yesterday to find that 750ml of engine oil had found its way through from the engine.

I have a 1972 commando purchased last year which has oil leaking from the kickstart shaft. I have removed the five screws, footrest, kick start and gear lever, but the cover is stuck fast.

Hi, new member purchased Electra.

What are the correct tyre sizes? Recommend brand and suppliers?

Just got it running briefly, it’s running points. Boyer electronic recommended ?

Thanks

I was pleased to find my Electra had Boyer-Bransden electronic ignition but I need to get the magnet carrier off and don't have a bolt to extract it with.
