Malcolm, your reply has me giving some thought to the RE starter-motor circuit. It seems the RE uses a starter relay which is not grounded to the chassis...
Well, my crank case wasn't ready on Wednesday after all. The shop is "just swamped" and they hope to get to it next week. I was under the impression that...
... Grin and bear it Bill. They may be saving your job until the good guy can work on it, and you don't want them to just "get it out the door". If you think...

... I don't understand how you're still in 4th when stopping. Normal practice is to downshift to 3rd, then 2nd, then slip it out of gear without even using...
... The relay Ford used in the '70's were ground-isolated. Mounted, in fact, on the plastic inner fender of most models. They'd be fine for the Enfield app,...
Pete, perhaps I wasn't clear. What I meant is when I'm beginning to downshift to 3rd, the engine sometimes just shuts off as soon as I press the clutch. I've...
Ian, I can't say I recollect a pull-starter on my Prefect. However, my 1958 Saab 93B had such a pull that I clearly remember. Ah for those days of simplicity! ...
My '56 Chevy Pickup had the round metal pedal on the floor next to the accelerator pedal. I took the place of the starter bendix and the starter relay!...

When the engine dies (or refuses to start) are the pub lights out as well? I had a similar problem last fall. Turned out to be an intermittent loose connector...

Al, have you seen the simple push starters they have on some of the starter motors on old Harleys, up to the Evo? Its basic and works, you just shove a lever...
H-a-r-l-e-y, why I think that heard of the marque but have never gotten close to one. Seriously though, I'll take a good look at the next one I find...
... I could see carbon deposits on top the spigot lip which indicates there wasn't an interference problem. Plus using the extra thick copper gasket should of...
... Sounds like your idle adjustment. It's not pulling in the clutch that's killing the engine, it's the backing off of the throttle. I'd work on getting it...
... Is there a possibility that the carbon was there from the time before, not cleaned off, and was what was in fact holding the head-barrel deck faces apart? ...
This is common with the micarb, as the weather gets warmer, or changes in humidity etc. the carb will behave differently. This requires frequent idle...
I think having the carb bolted direct to the head makes it a little more susceptible to heat transfer from the head. Just get stuck in heavy trafic and see how...
Hello All, This type question has probably been posed here numerous times before so I apologize in advance. I currently have a 2007 Ural Gear Up and have been...

As Pete suggests, if the gasket is properly compressed, it won't leak more than a slight trace of oil, unless the head and/or the top of the jug is severely...
