sorry,yes a 75 bonnie,where how do you get straight 50 oil ,apart from harley trade oil,which by name only puts cost on,and the last time i used it,it left a bubble gum ,sticky deposit  every ware,that messed up clutch and every else in the engine,i would like a normal oil, in the screw fix trade cat they do sell a 50 oil,i always change mine at 1000 miles,but i have been off the road for the last 5 years and have lost touch with all my usual dealers,gus,any suppliers of straight 50:?

i have a rotary oil pump and since fitting it i have noticed that the inlets are wet with oil,is there valve guides that you can fit rubber seals to like the jap bikes,i am using castrol gtx at the moment,would it be better if i used straight 50,when warm on tick over she is blowing a lot of smoke ,mainly on the right,and also tends to foul the plugs at about 40 to 60 miles causing misfires,gus

its the poxy oil rings,the 3 part assys,checked some of the old pistons from the past,one has the 3 part assy and the other has a single oil ring,that still has spring in it  but the 3 part assy ones are flush with the piston,so my conclusion is ,buy the single oil ring as they do the job and these 3 parters bin,1,500 miles these lasted,pretty poor for oil control rings,i have now ordered pistons rings gudgion pins and clips plus the gaskets,will put them in the weekend,gus.

the hyde guides are working,it looks like the pistons are the cause,i have never had a valve guides causing this problem before,so i am going for a rebore with new pistons and rings,the bores where honed before and now i have score marks in there,both compression rings were soaked when i took the barrels off,so this can be the only problem ,let you all know how i get on ,gus

just removed carbs,the right hand inlet and valve is covered in oil,i fitted new valove guides weeks ago,found the above problem ,so i ordered a set of valve guides seals and valves from norman hyde and same again wet inlet valves,is this caused by to much oil in the rocker boxes,is there a way of restricting feed to the rockers,gus

smoking triumph,i fitted a morgo rotery oil pump to the bonnie,rebuilt the top end and fitted new valves and norman hyde guides with seals,when engine gets hot it starts smoking,mainly out of the right pot,im running a steady 65 psi on tick over to normal throttle,the pistons and rings had been replaced over 2,000 miles ago,that i think can be the only problem now,has any one else used a morgo rotery pump and have had simaler problems,the right hand plug tends to misfire after about 30 miles,and is slightly wet with oil,gus.
