British Bikes / Re: BSA Super Rocket Advance and Retard.

How Do fellow biker, the advice given by Justin Faithfull I agree with completely  and I would like to add my own advice. Cold starting..A/R lever about halfway back ( each bike is different. what works on your bike may not be right on another )give a good flooding with tickler ,only use the choke if cold weather ,twist grip about quarter open, one gentle kick to suck some fuel in then a decent kick, a second kick may be needed. once she fires up you can restore thr A/R lever straight away. (and the choke if used )
 When warm, never use choke, A/R as before,a good tickle (some fuel may have evaporated )give a good kick at quarter or one third
throttle . this usually works. I sometimes use the A/R if I come to a hill and the engine starts to labour this works well but I usually just change down.
                    regards.

The colour I used to paint the tank of my '59 super rocket a couple of years ago was VW Mars Red. however this was an aerosol cellulose
and I don't know if you can still buy cellulose paint.It was a pretty good match and good enough for me and why worry unless you are
after a "conkers" award !  It is said that in the fifties BSA would use a batch of their super rocket red and when the next batch was used it wasn't always exactly the same . no computer matching then  ! so if your red dosn't match your mates red you could still both be right.! Anyway, get out on the road and enjoy yourself .  regards.
