The PRS8 switch is listed in the 1955 Lucas catalogue for the C11G, but there's no mention of the C11G in the 1956 Lucas catalogue.

They may have not been made in 56,

I know there was a 'C11G' and a C12, but was there a C12G?
I can confirm that there was not a C12G and the C11G was a 250 cc SV in a Bantem frame

Thanx for the reply L.A.B. Funnily enough when it first started playing up it would start just fine (as it always has), but would not rev past tickover. I've charged the battery now and it revs OK but still doesn't like sharing the battery with any other electrical parts - lights and horn etc. Busted batteries are hardly uncommon on brit twins but I'm still puzzling over why it causes problems when the bike's running :-?
I'll check the alternator the morrow. HN
When you take your battery off charge be aware that the reading on the meter may show around 12 volts, this maybe a surface charge reading, You need to attach a load like a bulb and observe the voltage drop, If it is excessive then the battery is faulty. If the battery is satisfactory fit it to the bike and start it with no other load, check the meter reading which should now be 13.8 volts or above, now add the load one by one and again look for a voltage drop, If this is excessive - 12 volts there is a good chance the engine will stop and the charging system is suspect. You should never run a AC to DC charging system with the battery disconnected and if its faulty it forms a resistance to the charging rate which drops. Good Luck, Lou Dalby Ex T & I BSA.

I stmbled across the photos on the link in my first post - aparently found in an envelope from an auction.
The magazine Classic Motorcycling Legends NO14 had a good article which inclded a photo of Walter at Kate's on the AJS in the 1939 Senior on a No9 plate.
I believe Sammy has the bike in his museum. I would love to visit it sometime - I live at Greyabbey in Co.Down, N.Ireland so may nip across the pond sometime with my camera or maybe sammy would have some interesting photos!

Hope you can come over sometime in the future you will find it very rewarding. I have attached a picture taken by me at New Milton of a speedway bike like my father rode in 1930.

its got about 100 miles on it following a full rebuild by T & G, what oil mixture would you recommend ?
You will need to get some advice from this forum has I have not had any experiance with the new oils and unleaded petrol. If it has only completed 100 miles since overhaul then I think you are expecting too much at this time.
