Funny old world. Some blokes (like this) can design and build a bike almost from scratch, and yet others are ignorant enough that they need to go on line and ask what oil or tyre pressures their Indian-built Enfield needs.
Clearly your dad's one talented man.

Sounds great!

Its a bit smokey! The timing isnt quite perfect, only done by hand, and theres some corrosion in one of the cylinders unfortunately, but at least is running for now, sounds much nicer in real life:)

Hi,
What a fantastic bike
I'm surprised there hasn't been more comments on it

There have been several previous threads here on this.
And, what appears to be the same engine and bike appeared in the book
of 250cc british racing motorcycles, along with its history and details.
Not at all clear how these relate to each other...

interesting, ive just looked that book up on amazon and said was £300? Does anyone have it please, be nice to see a couple pics of the bike thats in it

I posted some pics here from that book in previous discussions here on this.
It shows "Ronald Peck on his 4 cyl Special" and gives a brief history.
Sez it changed hands and was eventually sold off by Syd Mularney in 1965.
Clearly the same engine, in several incarnations of bikes and front forks...
