Re: What SD Bracket?

Re: Early Brittannia Western Australia

Took the "Muffler" off re low comp on a cylinder...... That aint 0.003"......The other side better but not good enough. New rings are cheap to have made in Oz so new year. Pistons have no marks, means nothing but cheerful none the less. 20231218_132413[1].jpg 20231218_132311[1].jpg 2...

Re: Marston OG rebuild

Next job was to look at the tiller, which was slightly bent! A bit of gentle persuasion worked a treat here. Does anybody have any idea what the original tiller grips were? b] Maybe something like this? Heavy rubber.....no maker mark. Paper lined? 20231217_063533.jpg 20231217_063541.jpg 20231217_06...

Re: Early Brittannia Western Australia

This is how I remember what the tank looked like. Paint is just in the shed but gives the general concept to my mind files.

Re: Brittania part and question

Heres a photo of my early BMB. The clip could be easily made from a piece of spring steel strip or similar. Do you want the actual dimensions? I also have a later BMB with the smooth exhaust casting and villiers magneto, but I suspect that part is different. I have ordered some spring steel...a bit...

Re: Early Brittannia Western Australia

Finishing really early tanks is a can of worms at any time. I had some feedback that they were blue. I was roughly 7 or 8 years old when I first saw this motor. Many years of memory depleting substances but I think it was green.....with the remains of decals. It was rather beat up even then. Mike m...

Re: Early Brittannia Western Australia

I suppose check compression. 60 solid psi top cylinder (number one) and very much below 50 psi on bottom cylinder (number two). 20231212_083147.jpg I will check again after running it. If I pull the barrels I will find out if 172cc or barrels of later at 165cc. I do not know what Mike used. After s...

Re: Early Brittannia Western Australia

Ignition timing. PART TWO: Fiddled about for ten minutes. The base plate would not centre around the top of the carby which puzzled me....no good. I have no idea and, never played with one of these before so I went backwards. Can anyone tell me the maker of this? I turned to the 32 Deg mark after c...

Re: Early Brittannia Western Australia

Now for the really fun bit....Ignition timing. PART ONE: Apply a 7" diameter tape to flywheel. By my mark 4mm (5/32) BTDC is 32 Deg. 20231211_121725 - Copy.jpg Fit to motor. Isolate points and check condensor...usual value used on everything. Being so old I will not trust it in the middle of T...
