British Bikes / 1970 750 oil Pump Removal
« on: May 14, 2018, 03:55:27 PM »
I have the timing cover off the 750 and want to get it re-plated. Does anyone have experience removing the oil pump from the cover?

British Bikes / Re: Interceptor 750 First Start in 35 years

I did cycle the engine about 30 kicks with the plugs out first. I primed the cylinders with gas - replaced the plugs... and added gas to the newly rebuilt carbs. I attached a gas feed system since the tank isn't ready yet. Four kicks and it started. I ran for 20 seconds or so and shut off to have a look around. I pulled two valve covers and restarted the bike. Oil is pushing up to the tappets and the push rods are getting a good oiling too. All is good... so I'll continue the restoration project knowing the engine is sound.

I have a spark. Will be giving it a shot today. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on getting oil in the lines prior to starting. It has the oil cooler...was thinking about trying to pump some oil through the lines first... if possible.

I getting ready to start my 1970 Interceptor. I changed the oil and oil filter... I've cleaned the carbs and tank. I have a new battery. Any other tips before starting?
I'm not going to ride...I just want to make sure the engine is ok before spending any money on the project.
The primary cover is off right now.

Greetings All - I'm looking for an owners manual PDF and basic maintenance source for my 750.... that was just given to me. Is there a good US parts source for things like gaskets and seals... oil filter etc?
