Lucas K2F magneto

Forums

The mag on my 57 dominator 88 has a poor spark on one cylinder pobably because the contact breaker gap cannot be set the same and so the energy transfer will ok on one pot but not the other. The ring cam measures the same thickness on both lobes.

Early bolted up frame query

Forums

I have an Inter special. A 1949 engine installed in a bolted up wideline frame. There is no frame number because it seems to have been obliterated by a replacement DVLA number. I have realised that the frame does not have lugs for a centre stand.

Front Wheel

Forums

Dave from records has identified my box of jubilee bits as March 1963. There is a front wheel on ebay at the moment that fits a 650ss, nc15cs model 50 and a 400 electra. Would this fit a jubilee?. My spindle hole sizes are 22/32 and 9/16.

Commando paperwork.

Forums

Are you the owner of LLR45K?

If so the first owner has given me a "motor fuel ration book" that was issued in the day for your bike. I can see it is still out there by dvla. So if it is you let me know and I will post it out to you.

Clutch axial movement

Forums

When replacing the cable on my clutch recently, I found that the whole clutch body can move axially by between 20 to 30 thou. (Not measured accurately)

Is this normal? If not, what could be the problem?

Mk 3 Gearbox

Forums

Just completed total rebuild on my Mk 3. With jangling nerves started it up and we embarked on itsmaiden 'road trails'. Really pleased with the ride. Total contrast to BSA and Triumph TriplesI am used too.

Main problems are;

which carb?

Forums

o.k., it's running reasonably well with the odd backfire through carb. it was fitted with a 389/45 when I bought it but it ran roughly so swapped it for a 389/17. this carb was originally fitted to 250 two strokes.

Rear plunger removal

Forums

Hi Iâm somewhat of a Norton virgin, and am stripping down a 1952 Dominator 7 and am wondering how to remove the rear plunger units. I can remove the central rods okay (now) but am wondering how to compress the springs to remove.

1951 MOT

I have a 51 Sunbeam S8 with a holder for an MOT disc. It means nothing here in the states but since I'm trying to get as close to the U.K. look as possible I'd like a 1951 MOT for it.

Forks to Frame

Forums

I've been slowly sorting through my boxes of bits for my Jubilee. I have a frame (together) and a set of forks in bits. It would appear that the steering pin? and bearings are missing to fit the frame to the forks.
