British Bikes / 1961 BSA C15 non starter
« on: March 25, 2018, 07:19:42 PM »
Hail great gods of the vintage bike world, I have a 1961 bsa c15 and she just will not kick into life, ive replaced the condenser, coil, stripped and cleaned and rebuilt the carb (although needle notch im unsure of what notch it should be on) ive cleaned the points and new plug in her, she's got spark and she's getting fuel but she just won't kick into life, occasionally ill get a puff of white smoke out the carb but then thats it... nothing, ive tried advancing and retarding the timing, nothing, its possible its 180deg out, but im really new to this and no idea how to check or fix that in laymen terms.
Im located in ashford Kent if anyone fancies a cuppa Tea and a gander, its my first brit bike build so please be gentle with me
thanks
Peter.
