My name is Larry, i'm currently involved with a 1934 250cc, B34??? i need to know if there are any timing marks on the magneto and cam sprocket? or how best...
Hi Larry, There are not usually timing marks on the mag sprocket because most mags use a plain tapered shaft. Usual method is inches (down the barrel) or ...
Could someone out there let me know the correct sequence of assembly of the later shuttle valve type (pre OIF) fork tube, specifically from the oil seal holder...
John, I'm not sure about the A65 forks but they don't seem wildly different from the A10's obviously excepting the shuttle valve which from memory is fitted to...
Hello all; This has probably been asked many times, but....Is there any evidence which spark plug is better for an A65 Lightning? Champion or NGK? Any...
From my personal experience, NGK plugs are far better than modern Champion plugs. Alan Coates (1967 A65 Lightning) ... From: jnerling To: bsa@yahoogroups.com ...
Not sure if this is true, but I was told some time ago that NGK own Champion so it is possible there is little difference in the technical quality. Alan Coates...
Plug threads are almost as much fun as oil threads. You will get a lot tell you that A is 10 x better then B which are 99% crap. Then an equal number will tell...

Thanks for that Mike, actually the later type forks are a bit different, what I’m after is the correct order for the spring support & washer, oil seal washer...
I have just put the centre stand back on my newly painted frame and the spring (68-4708) has made contact with the frame taking the paint off!!! Is that normal...
Ooops, your spark plug question: NGK B7ES for starters; I use a B7EVX platinum tipped plug; some people suggest the BP7ES, which is the projected tip plug (not...
I won’t get into jetting issues, because there are too many variables there to be making assumptions. I’ll also stay away from the AA questions because, ...
John:
Starting from the bottom of the seal holder:
1: Install the small steel washer
2: Fit the narrow o-ring (the washer won't fit through the o-ring!)
On...

I'm glad it's not just me it's happened to. I fitted my spring a couple of weeks back with the long leg to the frame and the same thing happened, it touches as...

Hi Grey, Most leaks on the A10 occur as a result of crankcase overpressure and the most common cause of that is combustion gasses entering the crankcase. Over...
