Title: 1954 BSA A7 star twin 650 help please
Post by: carguyinok on March 26, 2009, 04:46:17 AM

OK, as the title says we have a 54 BSA A7 star twin 650. Now we have that motor and its sitting in a vintage chopper frame. We know it was a build from the mid 60's and has been sitting since the early 80's. I was wondering if anyone here know their way around this motor and could help with tune-up tips and what oils it should be running? Also some help with the basic wiring of this motor.
 Thank you for your time.

The A7 is a 500 rather than a 650, but where do you start with a request like yours? It depends what you want to do with it, but doesn't it have a mag fitted?
If you're on a long-term build then a manual is essential anyway.
