This looks so interesting 😮

BSA C15s never have that problem.... I came back from Lulworth Cove to Basildon on an A10 in a howling gale and heavy rain, it went onto one pot, I pulled onto the hard shoulder, with the throttle all the way open, and whatever was wet dried out and suddenly away we went, for about 400 yards, one pot, 200 yards, cut back in. It got me home.

I can start my bike with touching both contacts on the solenoid after pulling their plastic covers back, so my solenoid, starter motor and battery are fine but starter button doesn't do anything, usually if I were to forget pulling the clutch before starting It would crank for a second then it would stop but now the button doesn't do anything at all, I tried checking the cable connections between the starter button and the solenoid then checking all the sensor that wouldn't let the engine start but I cannot do all that at home, the thing is this problem wasn't there before a rain that took an hour, I thought starter button and the sensors wouldn't be affected by the rain since I am supposed to able to ride my bike in the rain, like a lot of British people do?

I have a piranha quad, it’s not getting spark have any tips

Cheers for the video , on the insurance thing they put up premiums even if it’s not your fault due to the fact having gone through t once apparently makes you more likely to claim in the future ? Seems like a scam to me

Good stuff! What was the BSA chopper thing?

Love the 3 wheelers! 😊

Lovely bikes, this is so interesting 😮

Thanks a lot of help I didn’t realize the clutch switch

Battery is new starter relay is new starter motor new, all i get is a click from the starter relay when pressing the starter button and everything goes off then comes back on. Contacts are fine and theres power at the switch, stupid question would a broken brake switch prevent it from cranking?

Didn't show how to do any of these test

Good video lots of useful tips but I would have probably checked the main fuse first. Gave it the thumbs up and subscribed.

That looks beautiful

Was there same day

I have good new battery; no kill switch; ( that I see) and no click or noise when starter button is pressed. I took apart the starter button assembly and sprayed heavily with elec cleaner. Heeelp! 🥴

Will a motorcycle start with the kick start if electric starter is not cranking for nothing? I was thinking of touching solenoid with insulated screwdriver but I'm afraid of messing up starter or something on the bike. Thanks for the video any feedback appreciated

Ty

If you haven't got a bent screwdriver, are you actually an engineer?

Geez I've been putting the spring on wrong for the last 20k miles, looks like it goes under the filter not on top, Thanks for the vid. I use Mobile1 15/50 oil full synthetic with no problems as advised from a huge motorcycle shop here in the states. The 10/40 on cap was the best weight they had at the time in 1980, Cheers.

More accurate to use your tongue on the header for temp testing.

Thank you too bad you didnt show how to assembly it it tool mé half hour to put lever wire back to handle, i had broke both spring holder i drilled hole through plastic and use metric screw with and now its work.

Meticulous work, well done! So, sea bream with a side of stinging nettle?

Its so weak the spring inside.

Thanks for the reply the only way I look at them is to the way they changed the handles and the washers in the older 1970 reels the washer after the star had a funny shape washer that could be locked I think by 80 they done away with that but that all I have and 70s 9000and 10..000 had thd round knob on habdle

I think the number are the model as in have pic from the scramatics if a abu12 and there a set 6 number IE model

I've a 10000 here 757600

But the handle on a 9000 in 72 was not the type that's on that reel

muito bom

Excellent. Many thanks for producing this.

Great stuff! Small carrots can be sweet, and that magnolia is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

Done! Thanks from Texas

Thank you for this, an interesting place.

Brilliant always easy to think what it might be once you find it. Thanks for sharing, its easy to forget, we all do it.

What is 53 58 14 on a European 4 screw 5000 then? May 1967?

Dear MITCHELL OTOMATIC owners araound the world ; do yourself a big vavor : Keep your otomatics stored with bail in OPEN position ; open bail means relaxed bailspring !

Such a relaxing video. I keep coming back to watch it 🙂

Very helpful video i might check my 2008 v strom 650 with your method as i have some starting problems recently (not always). I have also cleaned the start button-headlight switch. So for the test you connect one cable to positive battery and one to the negative battery and with these two cables check inside the fuse i didnt quite understand. Because i thought the solenoid receives only positive?

Thanks for that! Very useful info! L&R from Australia

What do I do if when I try to connect the battery; the bike tries to take off? Please help

Love how this guy breathes in the tile dust...

Great little amp, I have one of these. There's a few reviews on line for this, I think it's becoming a bit of a collectible gem, one of the best small practice amps ever some say

Wow, they’re brilliant!

Ah, Wigan! I had seen pictures of some of this stuff from another mate of mine who lives in the town I escaped from.

I learned to fish on the Witham, and I know that peg quite well, though I haven't done any angling for over 30 years! I mainly used a waggler: typically a 4lb main line with a 1.8lb bottom, small hooks and red maggots to catch roach, rudd and hybrids. I never really mastered bream fishing, though I remember bagging up on roach one winter using a stick float trotted down the side. I fished for 7 hours and caught a fish every single chuck. I have no idea how she fishes these days!

I've had same one for a few years also, I like it but had same issues as you I guess, love the look of it! ...they seem to be sold out everywhere now so not sure why they still advertise them!? 🤷‍♂️

Bro you're sticking your finger in the electrical with the hot wire plugged into the battery. Disconnevt the negative on the battery when you're working on electrical

I have 2 6500s I bought in 1996. They have 040004 stamped in the bottom. Not sure what that means. Maybe they were made 8 years after I bought them in a year that had no months in it.

That’s so cool 😮 love the crystal clear waters too 😊

Cor, phew..... reads like a tabloid headline for hot weather! What sort of hotel makes you catch your own dinner?

I'm jelly!
