Hi my indicators all work but the warning light on console only flashes when turning left !

Has any one else had this and is it the switch ? or the lamp etc on the console ? and easy or difficult fix and MOT failure or just advisory

Did Atlas/N15 etc have 2 different length inlet manifolds? as I have a set of manifolds that I got years ago that are 1/2 an inch long with an ID of 28mm possibly concentric?

I aked the provider of the cylinder liners I've just received about the fitting tolerances  - he couldn't 

remember - but off the top of his head..... Not what I wanted to hear!

Hello

Please can you help?

Trying to trace any videos of:

Norton Model 18

Year 1936

Engine Size 500 CC

We used to have one in silver/black.

Thanks

The inner timing cover on my 1950 inter has a breather hole (about 3/8” dia.) just above the drive sprocket into the chain cover. Is this normal? (a ‘38 30M cover I’ve got doesn’t have one).

I have just bought a 650cc Mercury. Although it is now silver, the original registration document states that it was black when delivered ex factory. Q1.

Is it possible to cure the leaking kickstart shaft on my 1946 16h? A puddle appears under my gearbox within minutes.

I have looked at cutaway drawings and there doesn’t appear to be a seal.

Can anyone tell me where the sump drain plug is located on a 1946 16h?

Is it the bolt that is in the lower frame cutout?

hello,

on my, 56  19s

I am trying to date/identify my dolls head gearbox the number on the shell is G56A 225 I have tried google but no luck any help gratefully recieved

Thanks in advance

Hello fellow noccers, I removed my primary side cover to investigate why the oil level was rising in the primary chain case of my 1962 650ss.

Hi

Acting on advice given in a previous thread, I've purchase a side stand kit and an extended magneto nut from RGM Norton Ltd.

I have just fitted a new single VM 34 Mikuni (supplied by mikuni OZ) to my '72 750. All fitted correctly, no air leaks etc. It came with a 40 pilot jet which proved to be miles too big (unless there is another issue).

Ive recently completed the build of a commando engine, 850, with a PW3 camshaft and Pazon smart fire ignition, cracking spark out of it.

Hi, New member, first post.

I have just procured a project 1973 750 Commando, which is now almost completely disassembled.

Where does the drain on the bottom of the timing case go to?

Hi guys - does anyone know fi the clutch removal tool P162 (in the NOC shop) shown as suitable an AMC clutch, will fit a '55 ES2 (Norton) clutch?

Hi Folks, I am rejuvinating a 650SS that has not run for many years, The motor seems sound, it was rebuilt many years ago.

Ive recently removed the pistons from a 1960 engine. the only visable mark on the crown is a letter B. No markings to say they are a plus oversized. Anyone know what the letter B is. There is a very slight concave in the crown, is this normal.

 Nicely done,  too bad there is an ocean between me and the bike

Hello would anybody have any P11 Fork sliders they would be willing to sell I know these are AJS Matchless items but thought I'd ask on the Norton Forum

A friend of mine has a pair of Commando 850 MkIII’s, both fitted with LED lights throughout, including side lights and instrument lights.

hi all,

getting on with the build but how does the rev counter cable get past the exhaust balance pipe  without getting hot?

cheers

First, regarding the magneto. I've just offered up the K2FC to the studs in the crankcase. There appears to be a little play as the mag pivots on the lower stud.

Hi - Does any Interstate RH side panel fit a Mk 3 or were the earlier ones different?  Cheers

Whilst taking the front and back brakes apart to service them I noticed these, which I assume, are grease nipples on the end of the spindle bolts, only they're not actually nipples you can attach a grease gun to.
