Hello all, I'm about to repaint my R26's generator cover. Do any of you know a paint code or auto color that comes close? Exact match isn't necessary, just a...
Hi, I am looking for a carburator for a R26 (1958) in good condition. I now use a alternative (new) one, does not work as he should, overflow, etc. and it does...

The bike has been sitting for a year. The plug is getting what appears to be a good blue spark. There is gas on the plug when removed and I tried starting...
That your plug had gas on it tells that you do not need starting fluid. Check the timing. You can do this with the static method. If your timing is spot on,...
Well, I have read everything on this site about timing a R25/3 and have looked all over the engine for 3 hours. I removed the rubber cap on the engine casing...
i'm a newby but i think the s should be in the center of the hole. on my bike the s is at the bottom of the hole when the points open on the bench. Later Dude...

Thanks. The bike did run last year, but not well enough to take it on the road ever since I bought it almost 2 years ago. It was in storage with the person...
Peter, I use to live in MA (Woburn, and worked in Framingham). For capacitor go to any VW shop that cater to bugs (old bugs), they have the 6v cap, that work...
I would agree that the carb would be the first place to start. Those little buggers get clogged so quickly, especially if you are still fiding some gas in the...
