British Bikes / Leaky Amal 274 pre monoblock carb..
« on: April 06, 2017, 10:28:47 AM »
Hi again.. I just can't stop this carb from leaking. The float is now doing its job, but the leak is from the thread in the main body of the carb.
I've attached pictures as it's easier to see where it's leaking than me trying to explain it. I've fitted a new fibre washer, I tried an O ring, I tried making a gasket from gasket paper, but it still leaks. I did wonder whether that slot in the thread could leak, but with the carb together I can't see it to check..
I've run out of ideas..

Autojumble / Wanted. dual throttle/choke lever for 7/8" handlebars
« on: February 22, 2017, 11:39:15 AM »
Hi. Looking for a set of dual levers to control the throttle and choke, to fit a 7/8" tube, if anyone happens to have a set lying around.
Thanks.

This motorbike has had a full restoration fairly recently, but it has no lights on it and no electrical system at all. I'm trying to find out whether that was how it was from new or whether it's more likely that these parts were all removed during the restoration to save sourcing or repairing expensive parts?
Regards. Gary

British Bikes / What to look for when viewing a 1960 Norton Jubilee
« on: August 24, 2016, 11:22:55 AM »
Hi. I'm after a nice classic bike to ride around and also take to shows, my Dad says he's seen a Norton Jubilee which, he says, is immaculate. It's the type with the full fairing  and the sweeping from mudguard. He's nagging me to look at it as he likes it so much.
If I can get over there I hope to look at it this week, but wondered if anyone had any tips on what to look for. My first query is the colour, this one is black and white/cream, but the only thing i've found to read about them says they were all green, blue or red?
I don't know if a Jubilee is too small as i'm 6'2" and about 15 stone..
Thanks.
