Hi Gary. Just been watching some of your B31/33 videos, beautiful bikes I have 49 B31 which I enjoy riding and like so many found there is a knack to starting it. Starting isn’t the problem though, when it’s warm and fully advanced, it always seems to need a little choke and struggles to go beyond 55mph. Any ideas? It’s has carb clean, points, plug fresh petrol etc etc, grateful for any advice Thank you
Great looking bike Gary, sometime ago I was thinking of upgrading mine using B33 parts but didn't in the end as mine runs like a Rolex watch. How is yours running with the upgrades? is it smoother, faster etc.
Very nice Gary have fun.
Thanks Steve,
I decided to sell her a few days ago.
Age, and health problems can be rather cruel.

The top speed of a b31 was only around 60-65 mph tops, so for its age she's doing very well!

It's not any smoother, but acceration and torque are truly exhilarating.
This bike will be probably for sale soon, as I'm a little too tall for it.
