Allen millyard has some videos on his you tube channel showing how he splits and builds up crankshafts for his multi cylinder specials

Engine is a Villiers Starmaker

Some folk use zip ties

Check the throttle slide they are soft metal on the Bing carb and wear quickly and can then jam, especially on full/ high throttle openings....I know from experience ?

Yes it should unscrew easily, I used a socket and it was only hand tight, as there is a rubber washer seal

Bread bags

Isn't that gears?

Crank seals?

Watch other (competent) riders, note the speed and technique

Enjoyed it 1st time around, well worth a look...parc ferme " car park"?

Most wins to its registration?

superb, chrome frame, believe the guy's name was/is Robin Rhind-Tutt

stator is the common fail on these

I've seen a solo trials too!

just googles it, trials and scrambles,interesting box section spine frame, acting as fuel tank on the trials model, remembered seeing one in the late 60's

wasn't there a scorpion??

looks exactly like the hub of my 76 m159, not sure when they introduced that style hub

I thought so too!

bath of water should show where its leaking

Never heard of a 370 myself

my 76 159 has it (just looked!) but no bolt, think my earlier bikes had it too, something to do with manufacturing?

is that the team with a small but clever leader? they call him footballs cunning gnome.

I am guessing, but 1. they have found a way around the rule on weight distribution? and 2, to lower the gearing? I think there is a rule about what tyres they can use, basically a standard road tyre

never seen a bike used in competition with the oil pump in use, they tend to be a bit generous with the oil and cause poor running. I run my 175 whitehawk on 60:1 synthetic 2t mix
