CV carbs for Triumph and Norton

I have fitted these 40mm CV carbs to 3 bikes, 2 x 850 Nortons and 1 x Triumph stroker twin 850cc. I intend to fit one to a Trident 850cc and at least 2 other Nortons I have. I find with a bit of fettling they work extremely well and the bikes have good acceleration. With the jetting shown there is no over rich 8 stroking or lean hesitation at steady throttle. I don't have proper air cleaners yet, although the other carb I fitted to my brothers 850 chopper does. Nice flat design and would fit in the room available but @ $150 I'm in no hurry, so some fine screen works for now.

Had some problems so watch this video for a quick explanation of my fitment woes. Working good now. Worst problem was the belt tension as supplied was too loose. More than 90deg twist and 1.5" ? up/down play. I made another HTD front pulley 1 tooth bigger by buying a pulley over the counter at a bearing shop and after gutting fitted an Atlas engine pulley. This gave me 3/4" up/down play and 45 ...

ES CV triumph unit

Просмотров 4304 месяца назад

these 3 bikes either have a 40mm CV carb or a Electric Start or both. One has a 38 or 40mm Dellorto. The ES kit is by ARK Eng and sold through Shropshire Cycles in the UK. Both starters are working fine with a space to make the starter drive clear the ring gear. The kits come with a belt drive and the outer cover. The CV carbs are $70 on Ali Express, and $12 if no enrichening cable is supplied....

The E Start conversion on this bike is supplied by Shropshire Classics in the UK. Quite an easy job. Push button Brit Classic bike. Good thing for a dicky knee. It has been a great cruising bike since I first built it from bits collected and now is even better.

The T110 is a collection of bits as are the other 2 projects. The frame on the non matching built T110 was badly twisted and shoddily repaired so I did a little less of a shoddy repair to make it useful. Found a few bits ,bought the Aisin on ebay and got this far. The B33 similarly is built from bits, roughed up a header pipe, I have forward controls for it and hope to have a runner soon. The C...

BSA Goldstar electric start

Took a while but I finally got around to fitting the Pearsson UK made EStart. As you can see it does a good job. Takes a bit of mucking about to fit and the electrics need to go 12v Neg ground. I fitted a 12v 12amp gel battery with minimum fuss in the original battery holder as it is very similar in size to the old 6v rubber case battery. I had the genny rewound to 12v neg. Thye kit includes a ...

Triumph 5 speed gearbox retrofitted to early unit or pre-unit cases

Triumph 5 speed gearbox retrofitted to early unit or pre-unit cases

Просмотров 1,9 тыс.Год назад

I have tried to give some ideas on how to retrofit a 5 speed cluster into earlier 4 speed cases of the Triumph 650 unit. This works for both pre-unit 500 and 650 as well. A pre-unit 500 with a 5 speed is a great conversion. Not suitable for the 350-500 unit models. Hope this helps. I have it in written form on my site, www.bmcmotorcycles.com

Norton Commando 1971 thru 1977 Oil tank mounting

Просмотров 289Год назад

Just a little video describing how I like to mount the oil tank in later Commandos. By using a better top mount than normally supplied as a factory replacement and after repairing any cracks in the bottom lug, I turn the bolt into a screwed in pin and use a new grommet to locate but not tighten in place.

Просмотров 103Год назад

A short description of a Desaxe BSA engine. Many early 1900 motorcycle engines used this as a way of reducing piston slap. Maybe because most used cast iron for the piston as aluminium was not yet considered suitable? This design helped with piston slap at TDC and increased dwell at TDC. Check out Driving for Answers for a better explanation This is to show you what he didn't, an actual Desaxe ...

tribsa 750cc ex race

Просмотров 350Год назад

I rode this after building it from bits. I did about 4 race meetings but my knee stopped play. I was rehashing it for sale as a street bike and Brian bought it. He fitted a 750 kit which I did have on when I raced but removed when building for sale. He fitted a 5 speed as I had also removed the one I fitted for racing. He has done lots of other work and now has a nice little semi caff '60 pre-u...

This is a bike I used a lot in the mid '80 to '92. Then again a bit more 2011 to 2015. I then ripped the M20 sidevalve motor out and started the changes to where it sits now. The bike was not a matching number and I have sourced an M20 frame for the original engine for another bike. The motor has an M21 114 stroke? crank which needed some work to the timing side axle. I found a new pin and a su...

Atlas 76 deg Norton so far

Still building it. The all black Atlas. I expect it to be a bit of a blast. Last time I showed the 76 deg crank on the table. It is now in the cases and into a roller. An 872cc 5 speed Atlas with double discs.
