BSA Bantam 1000 mile service.

Going camping and the bike hasn't been used for 5 months giving it a quick check over before heading off.

I haven’t started my dads bike for months should I empty the sump I case fuel has got down and if so how do I do it ? Dad died last month and normally he does it

[@bradwalton7599]

It shouldn't need to be drained unless the fuel tap leaks. If you want to check watch my fuel tap repair there I drain the engine sump which is the small drain plug the lager one is for the gearbox oil

Hello, quick question. Do you use original points ignition or have you gone electronic? Tick over's nice.

[@bradwalton7599]

Hi, I am running original points it seems reliable so haven't looked at changing it.
