To answer your question the needle valve should look like a needle ....that is it tapers down to a sharp point . If it has been screwed down too tightly it will have a ridge on the taper ,this will prevent your drip being finely adjusted.

Hi Biker Bob ,interesting subject . I cant realy comment as regards M/C's as my 27 Raleigh does not get that much road use . However I use Bio Diesel in my BT 50 Mazda . I have used it eversince new and have had no problems at all even though Mazda say that any warrenty claims will not be met if this fuel is used .
I had a Nissan diesel some years back initialy I used standard diesel then changed to Bio . That change cleaned all the gunk from the fuel lines ,filled the fuel filter witha queer jelly like gunk . THis happenend only the once from then on the fuel filter was clean.

Cardan.....I can only say '' I dunno'' . You can find many strange things on an Australian farm scrap heap .I hesitate to say that in the same area I found a Triumph frame ,roughly same vintage ,no handlebars . Why I hesitate to tell you is that among other projects I am using this frame and forks to make a replica ''Indian Board Track '' bike . Now purists will shudder but what the hell !
On this same scrap heap was a complete 1900's IHC ''Famous '' engine and nearby a Pasley hot tube engine ....as I said many strange an exotic things can be found
Regards and thanks for your continuing interest .

Carden ,we have solved the problem ,a  phone call to the owner of the farm where the bike was found on the scrap heap tells us that at one time the bike was involved in a collision . The front forks were wrecked and we assume so were the handle bars . The bars that were with the remains of the bike when it was retrieved from the scrap heap are obviously not the originals ..........thanks for your interest and contribution .

Thanks Leon for your interest ,Peter C has been in contact with me and his information is valued . Peter seems to think that at a particular date line Triumph changed from stirrup brakes to drum brakes . May be the handle bars that we have ,as Peter suggest could be old stock that Triumph was ''Using Up'
Your theory on part number 2828 sound right . I have put another question to Peter re the valve lifter ,"Where does the cable for this enter the handle bars ''?
I dont think the subject will be taken away ,now there is some sensible content appearing !'

Look Rex ,I asked a simple question ,others responded in an informative  manner and I thank them for that . You chose to try and be clever ,your use of ''Smilies '' is your problem ........i responded to what you wrote ,no information ,only an attempt to be clever . If you could or would not give me any information perhaps it might have been a good idea to remain silent .
I personaly could not care less as to your opinion of me and you can sulk as much as you like ,you can also carry on with this but I have said all I want to ......I have other things to do !

Yes I'm quite happy to play nicely as you put it. Perhaps the other plonker should pull his head in and grow up.........there are specific sites for would be ''Jokers''.

Cardan, thank you for your response and the fact that you are not familier with Triumph SD M/C . However the information that you have supplied is most useful and appreciated . I myself do not know much about Triumphs however my friend Jeff who does not have a computor asked me to assist him . He will come to my home tomorrow and have a look at what info you have supplied .
My bike is a 1927 Raleigh ,model 15.
Regards
