Have only just become a member in the last 2 weeks so go easy on me...have just purchased a 1961 ss dominator 500cc.....I am encountering a slight hiccup upon acceleration...tickover is fine....high revs are fine with the odd blip now and again...
I have all the parts to re-build my 1953 ES2 with the exception of a seat.
Iâve a Mk II 850 with a Mikuni carb conversation, has anybody experienced the top of the carb (slider) undoing and of course raising the revs when you come to a stop, Iâve tightened it several times but seems to vibrate loose again, this happened
Excuse the callow question, but how does one get the rear chain adjustment right on a plunger framed ES2? Do you just make the adjuster bolts the same length i.e. the same amount of exposed thread ? If you've got one, how do you personally do it?
Hi there - I am new to Nortons although I have had AJS's for many years (sorry) - I have just purchased a 1954 ES2 swing arm that has not been used for 40 odd years and so am going to rebuild itusing as many of the original parts as possible.
The ES solenoid/relay on my Mk 3 has started jamming on occasionally when starting the bike. Its quite a frightening problem - has anyone else got any experience of this?
cheers

I've just acquired an old flywheel and the two cheek plates for a Norton twin, understanding they were for a 750 Atlas?? Commando. The flywheel has the part number 06 0732 cast into it.

Hi all,
What other Norton Commando tank could I fit to my '72 roadster to gain more miles between petrol stations?
Thanks and regards - Paul.
Hi out there I am replacing swing arm bushes on my mk3 books I have are not clear on lubrication only to say they don't need periodic lubrication as by time it needs to be lubed bushes will need replacing anyway,however it did not say what I need

Hi there
I have a 1973 Mk1 Commando with engine and frame matching numbers. 304976 build date 6/73.
I have just noticed the Gear box has 304975 stamped on it .
I believe the machine to be original with 9000 miles.
Hi All,
My 1954 ES2 motor has developed 2 annoying oil leaks.
Could someone enlighten me on the position of the tacho and speedo on above model? I have the speedo on the right (offside?) and the tacho on the left (nearside?).
Has anyone a good picture of the decals and lines on the petrol and oil tanks of a 1929 big 4.
The tank has a pastry crust edge so looking for good detail of this area also. Thanks Robert.
...thought that'd get your attention. My 1950 ES2 has several missing grease nipples, they were too mangled post-restoration. What should I be ordering for the steering head bearing points and the plunger grease points.
Please, Al Osborne, can you give me the Roadholder issue number where you explained how to test an alternator? I can't lay my hand on it.
Does anyone know if these will fit a de Luxe Navi with its original tinware? Cheers, Lionel
In this part of the world, lipped rollers for singles seem to be just about unavailable. Other bikes of the era used ballbearings, has anyone tried three RLS 8 bearings in an ES2.
Hi there. I need to find a Crankase Halves Assembled for my 1972 Commando, but at Norvil and OldBritt this part is quite of expensive, and I had no luck in Ebay. Anyone has another guess on where I could find it?
77 Mk 111 Commando - Both the rev counter and speedo lights don't work, tried everything to no avail.

Hi All,
Does anyone have an illustration of the speedo mounting plate used on the 1931 Model 20 ? And possibly how it fits the front forks?
Thanks,
Albert
I am rebuilding an atlas (Matchless) engine, circa '65 and am taking the primary apart to get to the engine. Question, although I've rebuilt my 72 commando a few times, I am unfamiliar with the clutch on this bike. It has the 3 springs.
When loosening the banjo bolts to check for oil feed to the rocker spindles onmy 750 Commando, how much oil should exude?
