Nice work Paul, maybe new parts can be made. I think the bike deserves that as she's so nice, i personally love it bring a BIG fan of NORTON my best wishes to you from the Philippines ❤️💪👍💭💭😉😀😁🏁🏍️🛺🐑🇵🇭🏴
G'day Paul, hope for the owner sake he has the parts and you can repair the bike, it's not the most attractive motor, only it's mother could love it, and if this classic bike is a rare one it need too be saved, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.
Hmmm, that is frustrating. I've been digging through my manuals, hand books etc, but I have only been able to find a drawing of the barrel cam type gearbox also fitted to these. I have seen "your" version before on a Jubilee, but I didn't work on it and a quick glance 35+ years ago is not much use.
You mentioned in the last video that a bent selector fork may be the culprit. Is the idea of attempting to bend it into a better position too much of a bodge for you to consider?
Paul, you could move the second gear stop position slightly by some weld on one side and profiling other side to bring the dogs closer ,can't see why this wouldn't work.
Thanks, but the problem seems that even without the stop present [it remains in the crankcase], at no point of movement do the two gears get as close as they ought to in order to give good, deep engagement.
@@paulhenshaw4514 one last suggestion ,the track in the cam plate could possibly be modified to move the second gear fork to bring full engagement of the gears. seems to me the track is out ,maybe as one ,post said a common issue, bit of weld and work with a file ,hope you can make sence of the above
well that spidle unscews and has a tool to undo it it come out with the carrier plate and you have to time up the gearbox by setting it in second gear anyway keep on playing with and learn as you go
Personally l wouldn't be trying to solve an issue by altering internal dimensions of a gearbox. New parts or better than what you have now is of course preferable.
Yes, but the problems I may be facing are a possible lack of parts availability, and this gearbox is an early type, there being a design change during production, which might tell us something here.

Good luck with getting parts, i am struggling to get a replacement part for my Matchless G2 which seems to be basically the same gear box
Thanks Paul.

Is there enough metal on the dogs to allow re- machining of the dogs to remove the ware?
Good experiment , shame didnt work

Fiddly, but might be worth a try if all else fails, thanks!

Noted, thanks for the info!
