Just a quick note for those of you who dont take Old Bike Mart. Simon Grigson has some sets of Juris Ramba's gearsets to sell. He has 5 sets for post '27...
Hi, Thanks for passing on Mark’s phone number; I have made contact with him and hope to buy a toolbox from him in the near future I will take a look at the...
Craig, Do you know if the pre 27 clusters were used on all beams of that time, I guess I just wanted to know if they would work on my M5. Also do you know if ...
Does anybody have any handy hints for measuring a certain distance before TDC to set the points opening? As the spark plug hole is at a relatively flat angle,...
Craig: The April '08 edition of "Classic Bike" magazine has a 2 page article on timing tools and a cut-out timing wheel that you can use with an old CD. You...
Hi James - sadly, the primary drive case doesnt give access to the crank (just a large bulge over the cush drive) and the other side has the oil pump!...
You have to remove the outside cover. You then can hang the disk on the cush drive. James Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry ... From: "Craig McWilliam"...
Craig: The timing disk is applied to the offside crankshaft end - you'll need to remove the primary cover. There's a nut on the end of the crakshaft (holding...
I realized in reading my previous comments that my description of the measurement method is not exactly clear. Note that in my earlier description I am using...
Thansk Dean, James. Very helpful responses. I think I will use the measurement method for now, until the end of summer, as I dont want to have to take the...
Hi all The standard fitment for a Model 9 is (I think) a Lodge H1. As I understand it this was then superceded by a KLG M60. I have a KLG ML50 in the bike at...
Craig: KLG M60s are equivalent to Lodge H1, both of which are correct for Moel 9. You should be using an 18mm plug. Hope this helps! Dean aka meanodeano ... ...
Hi Dean. I have lots of H1s, the problem is that they are a short reach plug - given the depth of thread on my model 9, the spark plug would not reach the...
Craig, The threaded part of your spark plug should extend to the end of the threads in the head (or pretty close)... ie the electrode shoud just come into the ...
Thanks James. Yes, I would expect the plug tip to be pretty much flush with the inside of the combustion chamber. I cant say I know for certain as I havent...
I've seen a lot of 18mm spark plugs, but have never seen one with a 'long' reach, they are all exaclty the same as a Lodge H1, so don't bother looking for a...
you can buy the screw on caps at most restoration supply places... I picked up a nice one at my local hardware store, with the correct pitch for the ngk plug....
Hi Paul Firstly - I liked your write up on Stafford. THe Helen Mirren pic was good :-) Also, you could see me in one of your photos! Anyway, dont disagree...
I've been using 18mm short reach plugs in my Riley 9. Should be Lodge CB3 or equivalent. I was told some years ago that there were no 18mm long reach plugs,...
Plug masking combined with marginal ignition can cause some head scratching. So it can be important. If you have access to a good mill with proper tooling it...

Thank you for the uploaded file, Paul - thats very helpful. I am going to guess that the "L" in my ML50 means long... I also found this cross reference data...
hi as meanodeano says, prewar Sunbeams use 18mm plugs which are commercially available, if not at Halfords! I sourced brand new NGK plugs from the Green Spark...
A good friend has just obtained a B28 in pieces--although common sense prevails--eventually--It would be nice to make contact with fellow owners in order to...
Hi All, I had a good ride on my Mod 5 today 150kms trouble free, except for somebody stealing my oil tank cap!!!!!!! no idea why as their are only two flat...
