    7:32 "...the R71s used in Africa also had a different air filter...." No, they didn´t, because they weren´t used there. You probably mixed it up with the R75. I have to pour some water into that historic wine, I fear. The R71 was never comissioned by the German army, and only around 1500 of them were made (the number of 3500 is for all 3 models of that series, as they used the same set of frame numbers) Their (civil) production halted in 1940. Although meant as a replacement for the R12, the military stuck to those for their great number already in service and easier spare parts management. Since a dedicated army motorcycle was announced ( R75) the R71 was obsolete. All of these types of machines that you can find on photographs were civilian bikes that were commandeered for service, some in their original civilian paint. German motorcycles comissioned by the Wehrmacht were BMW R12 and R35, DKW 350, some types of NSU. Later came some lightweights (DKW RT125) and then in 1942 R75 and Zündapp 750. Also in the course of the war a lot of captured foreign material was added, plus commandeered civilian machines (as would have done all other countries). Today´s obsession with the R71 being a military motorcycle (in my view a British and American tic) has it´s origins in the ubiquitous Russian M72s and Urals, but that´s a story in itself. In my opinion the BMW opposed twin machine of that era is the least desirable machine you´d like to have for war purpose: too heavy, too wide near zero ground clearance, the sv-engine prone to overheating under heavy load, low hp output, high fuel consumption, personnel completely unprotected. The "fantastical" R75 and Zündapp KS750 came too late and were overcomplicated, to use and maintain. Their presence up to date stems from the heavy propaganda around them. It is not by accident that their British counterparts gained fame as dispatch riders but not as combattants. You show a picture (5:05) of Steve McQueen on a modified Triumph motorcycle from the 1962 movie "The great escape". A Britsh 1960s machine with an American actor depicting German war material. What a fitting illustration of make belief. I would dare to claim that 99.9% of the "BMW R71" which you can find anywhere are NOT what their owners would like them to be. The few real survivors are sitting in museums and some private collections WITHOUT a rifle on their fake Russian sidecar. (5:26)

    My 1300 Herald has zero compression on one cylinder and low compression on the other cylinders. The engine sounds like a 2 stroke lawnmower. My mechanic days he can send the head off for 10 days to be refurbished and converted to unleaded. Price is going to be £1000. I can't understand why it's so expensive. What's your opinion? Should I just buy a second hand head and see how it performs. It looks straightforward to replace looking at your video.

    • @themadmechanic1964
      @themadmechanic1964 Год назад

      Hello my friend … hope I can help my advice is … 1, what is wrong with the head ?? 2, when your mechanic said it had lost compression are you sure it’s the head and not the piston .. if it’s a valve that has burnt out I would buy a new valve grind it in which is so easy and fit it .. but I would buy a second hand head that are cheaper than £1000 and fit it yourself .. it’s an easy job Keep in touch if you need any more advice .. and good luck

    Primary windings are the smaller control windings, when one side of the primary opens, the voltage rushes out of the secondary windings which is the larger gauge wire going to the distributor pr spark plug seeking shortest path to ground causing a spark on the tip of the spark plug electrode.
