British Bikes / Re: BSA B31 gearbox bearings
« on: December 29, 2011, 11:15:24 AM »
Thanks for the reply;
My gearbox is as shown on service sheet # 302.
It is very hard to see the correct part, but I have found out it is in fact a bush, and not a bearing.
Now I will have to try and find a supplier for this part.
Draganfly are out of stock.
Regards Keith

I was hoping to find details of the 3 crankcase bearings fitted to early BSA XB-31 engines. I am interested if there is a SKF or FAG equivalent to the Hoffman bearings available.
Thanks Keith

Hello Thanks for posting the link. Unfortunately I can't open it, and I can't access the host web site from my location for some reason. Hmmmm.
Thanks anyway.

Hello all;
I am after the BSA service sheet 703.
Does any-one have a copy that is legible, so I can select the correct bearing numbers.
Thanks Keith :-\

British Bikes / Re: Amal Monobloc BSA M20
« on: October 26, 2010, 12:28:25 PM »
Thanks very much for your information. It saved me a lot of effort. I could not find the specs on google.
One of my M20's has a 376/04, and it runs great, except it breaks down a bit under prolonged full throttle. I may need to increase the size of the main jet.
My recent M20 restoration, I have fitted a 376/276 monobloc from spare parts, and I cannot get the motor to run unless full choke, and my hand three quarters covering the bellmouth. Any application of the twist grip, and the motor dies instantly. I'm not experienced with the cut-away. I don't want to cut away too much. I want to check all other possibilities first.
I have had to fit the longer spacer between the monobloc and the barrel, so that the float chamber clears the side of the dynamo body. This is a good thing to help with fuel evaporation when hot, plus the monoblocs are a trouble free carb when set up properly. No leaks and trouble free ect.
Now that I have the specs, I can check exactly which parts I have installed, and go from there.
Cheers Keith

Hello all; I have a 376 monobloc fitted to my BSAM20. These were standard but only on some of the 50's models. Just wondering, does any-one have jet and needle sizes for this application. can't seem to find much on google.
Thanks Keith :-\

Hello; Your BSA XB-31 could be the earlier model made in the production year 1945. Does your bike have oil drain screws in the bottom of the front fork tubes.
Send me an email.
Thanks

I run a belt on my old flathead, and that is the best thing ever. With the BSA clutch conversion. What is the type and part number for the adaptor, or do I have one made??
Thanks Keith

American Bikes / Cleaning up a timing cover
« on: July 05, 2008, 03:09:33 PM »
Hello all
What would produce the best results for cleaning up a 45 timing cover. Fine glass bead  blasting, or going to the enormous trouble with a polishing mop, and sore fingers.
Thanks Keith :-[

American Bikes / Re: WLA Timing cover
« on: June 29, 2008, 01:11:45 PM »
Hello Chris; Sorry for the delay in replying, I've been on holidays. Thank-you for your advise. What happened was when I screwed in the oil pressure switch, the alloy hole in the cover broke away, so I have to remove the cover to have it welded up. I can do all the work myself, except the welding. I have good books. I started my project about 15 years ago, when i found a front brake plate lying in the bush believe it or not. Then a fella gave me a set of forks. I chased all the other bits myself, and I now have a fully licensed black and cream factory standard and correct in every detail WLA (except for a toothed belt primary. I have not had it out on the road yet. The motor and gear box, are still to be run in. What issues should I be aware of with these bikes with regular use on the road, other than the normal maintenance. Talk to you again soon Regards Keith Atkinson ps where do you live. i am in Australia

American Bikes / WLA Timing cover
« on: March 10, 2008, 07:35:53 PM »
I have a military WLA Harley. I need to remove the timing cover to have the hole for the oil sender switch repaired.
Is it OK to remove the cover and leave the cam spindles unsupported, or do I have to slacken off the valve springs first.
Any advise much appreciated.
Keith
