Hi David Correct me if I,m wrong, I'm married so I used to it, but the calculated torque doesn't apply at TDC where it would be much less with most of that...

I have a LUCAS ammeter on my headlight. Is there some way of dampening the needle left and right movement when a load is put on the circuit....a relay or...
That's part of the entertainment factor added to the machine. They all do it. Don't look at it. Look at the road! It could probably be reduced with a new...
... Actually you could have both. Joe Michaud filled his ammeter with mineral oil to damp the needle movement, but the seal was less than perfect. He took some...
I have been trying to solve the sooty problem on the left side and other than the BP6ES which works best I am not getting where I want to be(the left is still...
You should run a set of low compression pistons these days, I just wouldn't fit high comp items unless for a competition engine. Try using a BP5ES on the sooty...
Well the obvious solution is to ride it more often. You already have an anti syphoning valve. BSA in their wisedom fitted one. It is a little more simple ( my...
As John said, 'another oil thread'. There are plenty to search on this forum. We also have our lighter and even off subject moments. You need a sense of humour...
The JP piston was the only set I could find...yes you are correct as this is what I did in my R69S restoration except I put a thicker head gasket. In Canada we...
Think yourself lucky,young sir. Either : 1) Fit a drain plug arrangement in the sump plate . 2) Run the bugger up every now and then. 3) If you can't be...
The problem is compounded by using a thicker head gasket, because although the compression ratio is lowered, the already minimal squish effect is entirely done...
Seriously, For oil in large quantities to end up in the sump, there is a clearence problem somewhere in your bottom end and your A10 is telling you that that...
... Trevor, brilliant post on several levels, and I consider myself fortunate to have read it. Thanks for making the effort to write it Cheers Rick F (2...
SRM claim that their after market oil pumps will help eliminate wet sumping. They also warranty only if you use 50 Wt oil.........Try 50 wt oil with your old...
OK Dave & Pierre, I'll add some obs here from my re-build on a '71 OIF T/bolt. Standard carb size for this bike was a 28 mm Amal. However, fitted was a 32 mm...
It is easy and costs no money to damp the swing on lucas anmmeters. You tighten up the little screw under the pin that is part of the needle underneath....
In a message dated 5/3/2008 4:20:39 AM Eastern Daylight Time, ... I would beg to differ on this point. Octane number is the measure of resistance to knock -...
Very interesting Don, could you go a little deeper into the two mixed octane numbers i.e. benefits vs waste of money or worse. Except for my wife's Focus I...
Octane is not what you are going for when you fill the tank. Performance is what you want. If Regular works without knocking, then it is perfect for your...
There are actually two tests for octane, Research and Motor, which use different test procedures and produce different numeric results. They can be varied in...
Thanks Don, I thought there may be a level where the performance/economy could gain by increasing the octane value to some degree. I know my Saab requires 87...
