Autojumble / Villiers engine wanted
« on: March 01, 2006, 11:39:41 PM »
I need an engine for my 1963 Cotton Cobra.
Originally it would have been fitted with a Starmaker 250cc, which is ideally what I need, but thats unlikely.
Therefore I am interested in any 197 - 250cc Villiers engine. I will pay a good price and can collect within a 75 mile radius of Leicester.

Wanted Bikes / Norton wanted
« on: April 17, 2006, 05:09:38 AM »
I am looking for a basket case Norton to build into a Norvin, using a Vincent Comet engine I have. I want a featherbed bike with an identity to build into a machine I can enter into classic racing. I am aware that these machines are not without value and am prepared to pay the going rate.

British Bikes / dynamo polarisation
« on: February 27, 2006, 10:50:45 PM »
I have a Miller 50 watt generator on my bike and have problems with it showing a discharge whenever the contacts are closed.
The bike has been stood for some time, but I have stripped the unit and checked the insulation and connections, and fitted new brushes, and it appears in good order.
I seem to remember a similar problem some time back with a Lucas unit that was cured by flashing a live feed from the battery onto the field connections.
Does anyone know if there is a similar procedure for the Miller unit?. Or perhaps have an idea what the problem might be.
Regards, Bob
