Pre-65 Bikes

does anyone know the amount in degrees advance I want to be using with a Sammy miller pvl???

Evenin` all and a merry Christmas to one and all. My Crusader is well on it`s way, by which I mean that I have reduced the base bike to its` component parts. My wheels are being prepared by Gerry Minshall as I write this but I have a query one of you types may be able to answer. Bearing in mind that I have a road box what rear wheel sprocket size would you recommend. I`ve no doubt the bike will climb but at the same time I don`t want it going beserk downhill and scaring the wotsit out of me. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Have fun, Hazel

Anyone got the standard length of a cub s/arm (and where you measured it from)

Hello Does anyone know where I can purchace a pair of fork gaiters for my Francis Barnett trials. This one has original barnett forks and not the norton type. Top is approx 31mm bottom is 42mm and needs length of about 140-150 fully out. Black if Possible Thanks Ken

I have now removed the previous topic relating to this. There are certain parts of things that, from information received from multiple sources, do not stack up. As the two parties in question are now in contact and will, hopefully, resolve the matter amicably there is nothing to be gained from continuing the debate.

I have just fitted a Honda TL125 Kehein carb to my Tiger Cub, it runs OK on tick over but as soon as I roll of the throttle, after giving it some throttle! it pops back through the exhaust, at the moment its 98 main and 35 pilot,with the needle raised one from the bottom,do I need to go bigger on the main or raise the needle to the max! I thought that the TL 125 carb just bolted on with the standard jets and that was it. My Cub is the 250cc Serco conversion.

What type of wheel spindle arrangement is best when using a Cub type hub in AJS, Matchless fork legs?
