Information on New Hudson?

[RCM]

Hello all! First post here so just getting used to this and getting started. I have just recently bought a New Hudson 211cc two stroke which has been restored but requires just a little finishing. I have the the majority of the parts but i'm not so sure about the confuguration of the cables and levers. Does anyone here have information on New Hudsons? I'd love to know a little more about them. Thanks! R Macrae.

I'm not a New Hudson expert, but there is a bit of universality (weird things excepted) about the levers and cables. Try:
Left inverted lever to the decompressor
Right inverted lever to the front brake
For the carburettor double lever:
Upper lever to the air slide (usually rear of carb)
Lower lever to the main throttle slide
If the magneto has variable advance and retard, the lever can go on the left bar.
I guess you don't have to worry about a clutch lever!
Hope this helps - looks almost ready to ride!

Thank you Leon!

I'll put that information to good use. There was a friend and i in the garage waxing about which one should go where over a couple of beers the other week. We got them the wrong way round all together!

Progress to follow but that will be slow as i'm abroad on work and the bike is in storage now :(
