A great day out and always attracts a big entry, especially from Europe. I popped down late this afternoon and walked around the camping area and saw all manor proper of classic machinery, including some very nice Indian V twins and early model Guzzis from Holland. I also spotted several big Zed's a...

Top man, great job done. That paint set is the best i.m.o.

There is a fi troubleshooting guide Pm me and I'll send you a copy PM on way. I have agreed on price for the H, pending an independent viewing. Bikes on the other side of the country so getting mate to check her out. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/nico_z9/72c518bd-e846-40e1-bc0a-aa1917497e4...

lovely machine Aztec, shattered dreams rebuilt. funny really, when i was younger i would have found the enfield to old looking and slow, how tastes change as age creeps in. Certainly does Mick! I had such a wide smile on my face yesterday, and I could not ignore the amount of people that crane ther...

This latest rebuild was started on Easter Monday and finally came good this week. The delay was down to having to 'adapt' the wiring loom from the later ac/dc system to dc only. A real pain, for even the keenest of amateurs..... It was all meant to be a 'dry run', hence, the mish mash of 350/500 bod...

Back on the road at last, been nearly ten months! M.o.t tested on Thursday, no problems. Some further tweaks today have ironed out the charging problems I hope. Runs and goes' rather well. Makes an incredible racket (thump), like my 500 never seemed to do, no doubt due to the original, unrestricted ...

Nice one Kev. Shall listen/look out for this one around Kent.

this is the seat ive had in mind for a while, http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/pp7/purdybrush/seat_zpswf4ihfju.jpg That looks very smart, especially for an MT. You may want to enquire about a Gel based pad, like a honeycombed effect. I've seen them at shows, shaped to fit most saddles. Round sing...

fully fitted the eliminator this afternoon :D have just ordered a new one from Rex's because ive burnt the original one out about 30 mins ago by wiring it back to front :oops: A big 'oops' indeed Mick :?: But these [electrical] things are there to try our patience. :wink: Will be worth it in the en...

i like both additions there Aztec, any chance of a picture of the whole bike with the guard and lamp fitted :?: Cheers Mick. Shall hopefully get out again and duly get some 'makeover' pictures up. (Spent all this weekend fettling the Bullet, which is now ready for it's first start-up for nearly a y...

I should be riding more than fettling at this time, but sod's law dictates that long, bright, warm and mostly sunny days, are an ideal opportunity to get much fettling done outside. I work two shifts, 'earlies' one week, 'lates' the next, and can usually fit in much stuff before or after the shift. ...

When points close they are supposed to short to earth/frame, its when they open the field in the coil secondary collapses and discharges through the spark plug to earth..Paul J Indeed. And getting one's bonce around that, and the anomalies of earth, ground, feed and return circuits makes for much t...

Did you remove all the jets? Make sure they're in properly. Affirmative. Will need some gaskets really. The odd 'ooze' on a fingertip here and there. All inlets rubbers/clips/vacuum bungs/breather pipes/overflow pipes sound. Petrol is clean and crystal clear, which is surprising given the state of ...

ooh, lecky stuff, unfortunitly ive got to work today Aztec, but rest assured i will put my thinking cap on and see if i can come up with any help for you by tonight :up probably not though :oops: :oops: :oops: :D some answers will be along from this old pot of wisdom soon enough. The bain of all am...
