Weepy Electra Primary side filler cap
Two years in and I have just about got my Electra oil tight apart from a stubbornly little weep from the primary chain case oil filler cap.
A technical forum for Jubilee, Navigator and Electra
Two years in and I have just about got my Electra oil tight apart from a stubbornly little weep from the primary chain case oil filler cap.
All buttoned up and starting well with the new arrangement. The bad news? I noticed no charge showing on the ammeter. After tracing through I have plenty of AC volts arriving at the (solid state) rectifier but nowt coming out of it.
As mentioned before one of the primary chaincase screws had a stripped thread in the crankcase. Further inspection showed that one of the others had already been fitted with a helicoil, It was sticking out from the crankcase.....
Flushed with success with my starter mods I went out this morning to see if it was still starting. Yes it was. However, I noticed that when the starter operated the primary chaincase was moving about!
Since I rebuilt (partially) my Electra I've had trouble with the electric start. It hasn't been with the mechanical side (although more later). But the electrical side has been causing me grief.
Is there a drawing/pic/link of oil tank to engine, oil pipe layout please, Jubilee 250
Hi chaps, a quick progress report on my 1964 Navigator rebuild. 29 days so far from a bare frame to an almost ready to start bike today after fitting the carb, throttle, choke, styling panels and first test fit of the restored seat from Leytons a
Hi - I'm just starting to renovate a 1961 Navigator. I'm getting conflicting information about it being a wet or dry clutch. Would be grateful if someone could put me straight. Thanks
A note of caution.....
Up to now, fitting Electronic Ignition was relatively simple.
1) Upgrade your system to 12volts. (You kept your alternator & 6v coils - if working).
2) Changed battery, bulbs & horn.
The arrow on the photo is pointing at a bracket that is bolted to the centre channel section of the lightweight frame. It appears to be welded or brazed to the tubular cross piece.
What is it's purpose?
