British Bikes / Albion 3Gear model E questions.
« on: June 04, 2018, 06:21:10 PM »
Hello Sirs,

I've got some Albion questions, as i am restoring a lightweight 200cc FN but German built, when I've got the bike there where 2 gearboxes included!!

One got a strange clutch using a bigger axe with splines and 3 cork plate and 1 ferodo and a damper in rubber.

The second one contains 2 cork plates and is the half smaller, I think the original one!!

A other question in guiding the shift lever I've got 2 models, witch one do you suggest to use??

I've read already a lot in this forum about Albion!!

So please gentlemen, my I ask your opinion in that matter to overhaul that gearbox.

British Bikes / Struggling with a right type of villiers carburettor
« on: May 26, 2018, 05:19:44 PM »
Hello, I am restoring a rare FN motorcycle build for the German market, it contains a Villiers 196cc 1E engine with Albion 3 gearbox and it must build around 1930-31.
For the carburettor I need a Middle/weight model with a jet number 3 and needle taper 3 1/2.
So far so good i’ve found already a carburettor but it seems be a brass MK3, the one now is not a single or double lever but only a slide control?
My question: Is it easy to rebuild a carburettor to a single or double lever control.
And how do I recognise a Middle Weight villiers carburettor??
Thanks in advance to answer my questions.
I lived in Bruges Belgium and I owns a lot of FN motorcycles and mopeds.
