American Bikes / 1948 Indian voltage regulator??
« on: June 19, 2021, 06:31:59 PM »
Hello all-   I'm hoping someone can answer me this??   The original 1948 6 volt Auto lite voltage regulator had 4 connecting points.  A/F leads from generator- and B/T.  B went to battery and the T was used for generator light indicator I assume. My ? is this. The new generators sold for Indians now have only A/F/B.... Where is the wire for the indicator light attaching???
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks Bob

American Bikes / 1948 chief horn
« on: May 20, 2018, 02:25:27 PM »
Howdy-- Hoping someone may be able to post picture of of interior winding and lead connections etc. inside 1948 chief horn.. I realize this should be pretty straight forward, but my horn has been previously molested, for lack of a better term. one of the previous owners was inside it and there are wires broken and others I'm not sure should be there....  I tested ohms and the winding is good. Just need a picture of proper winding lead connection, which I imagine go to positive and negative posts, and leads to point contact.   Or a simple clarification as to wires and placement, I can understand directions...Any help appreciated

British Bikes / 1962 A50 LEAN ONE CYLINDER
« on: June 20, 2015, 12:23:55 PM »
HI all-  Interested in any feedback. Pretty much done with an A50 I picked up awhile ago, or as far as i'm gonna take it. Its a good bike, original frame and engine and 85 % of parts. Starts first kick and runs well with great compression in each cylinder. Problem is….. It is running lean on the left cylinder only? It is a single carb with 2 inti 1 manifold. My first thought was rocker arm clearance. The exhaust valve is a little tight so most of the gas is being vaccumed out before combustion. Adjusted all valve clearance and still lean.????
My next thought, carb..
ANY THOUGHTS

Thanks

British Bikes / 42-5886 brake lever arm---- 1962 A50
« on: April 22, 2015, 12:44:41 AM »
Hi- I am looking for an approx. length for 42-5886 front brake lever arm for my '62 A50. I am thinking the one presently on the bike is incorrect. Also an approx. front brake cable length and correct brake arm connection… meaning clevis pin or??? I have parts manual and service manual but it does not give an accurate depiction.

Thanks
Bob

Japanese Bikes / 1962 YD3 -- Running 1 cylinder??
« on: December 13, 2014, 02:39:02 PM »
I have a 1962 YD3 I picked up very recently.It is in excellent originol condition with only 4500 miles. Everything works. Has not been run(really) since 1968.
The bike is not running on the left cylinder. I have--
-Cleaned sealed tank & carb
-Ignition timing is dead on correct
-pionts set and good (both cylinders have great spark)
-cleaned carbon from exhaust
-tested coils by swithcing cylinders
-both cylinders have about 140lb's compression

The left exhaust leaks oil/fuel profusly at pipe muffler joint when you try to run bike, which makes sense as it is not firing….  Someone suggested it is the left crank seal, and that it is sucking iol in from the "wet" left clutch….

ANY THOUGHTS WOULD BE GREATLY WELCOMED*****  AND IS THE LEFT SEAL ABLE TO BE REMOVED AFTER THE CLUTCH BASKET IS REMOVED OR DO THE CASES HAVE TO BE SPLIT… LITERATURE ON THIS BIKE IS HARD TO COME BY AND ONLINE SHCEMATICS I HAVE FOUND DONT SHOW THE SEAL.
Thanks

Japanese Bikes / 1962 yd3
« on: November 27, 2014, 02:17:43 PM »
Hi- I recently purchased a 1962 YD3. Bike is in excellent or original condition… Had not been registered since 1968. I am needing to find the rubber intake manifold boot #146-13565-00 and rubber air filter jiont #146-14454-00. Both have turned to hard cracked plastic, verses the original soft rubber.
It is difficult to find parts for these bikes.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

British Bikes / 1964 BSA A50
« on: October 01, 2014, 07:45:55 PM »
Hi- I am new to the forum, and am looking for insight into a BSA A50 I just picked up… I have owned other british bikes but this is my first BSA. It is titled as a 1964. Engine # is A.50.699
                                                                                                           H.C.
This is exactly as the engine # appears, with the H.C. under the #'s
The frame # is A50.2059
  My reading leads me to believe the bike is actually a 1963????? but not sure.   This is my first ?
The bike was rallied at sale as a Royal Star. It is my understanding that the "Stars" were 1966 up. So It is a Star Twin??..
The bike has the stainless 4 gallon tank on it, as well as the metal headlight shroud with the ignition key on the left and the ameter on the right. Was the 63/64 A50 sold/offered with these items. From what i've seen these are A65 items????? Bike also has small/long tail light with plate bracket, verses standard lucas beehive.
Bike has '66 royal star side covers on it, but previous owner gave me one right hand cover he said came with bike… It is large and front mount is off carb mounting stud.

So basically I am hoping some folks can share there BSA knowledge with me, as to any of my ?'s

Thanks very much
Bob L
