Look, the 650SS was basicly a 600SS with a longer stroke crank. If you want to know what it is, lift the head off measure the stroke. I suspect you could just drop a 650SS crank into a 600SS motor and you are good. Maby the factory did this, maby some guy like me in my garage. The carbs on your bike are Mk1 concentric not Monoblock. That tells you nothing. As Monoblock wore out you automaticly replaced them with Concentric which were easier to adjust. I run 2 nortons, a concours 650SS 1963 and A 1964 750 . Café racer production race tuned. The Norton motor is simple and it is easy to swap parts between models. Let me give you an example. I took a 1949 Model 7 500cc that was rusting in a garden, dropped in a 750 crank, 750 barrels, sphered and gas flowed the head out to 32mm carbs. Nobody could understand how a 1949 500cc bike could drag the lights against Japanese 4s

I have a 63 650SS and a 64 Atlas. From what I could see you have A Lucas K2F magneto so you don't need a battery to start. You have Amal concentric Carburetors, not standard for 63 but they work very well on my 64 Atlas. Set the airscrew at 1 and a half turns, play with the slider height, play with the choke slider. I don't actualy use a choke slider in the concentric, but that is on a race tuned engine. Probably your biggest problem is that Norton Twins Wet Sump. If left for more than a week oil drains from the Oil tank through the rotary oild pump and fills up the crankcase with oil. Then, when you try to kicfkstart you are fighting against oil. Crank turns slowly, magneto turns slowly, poor spark, knackered leg. If not used recently drain the crankcase via the BIG drain plug at the bottom of the case. The bike will start easier, believe me. Either ride it once a week or drain the sump.

When I was 16 in 1963 we were based at RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus. Friends with older RAF guys one of whom had a 650ss. Loved it, but my own biking started with a Yamaha yds3 and wonderful Triumphs a new 1968 T100T followed by new Tridents, T150 and later a T160….VFRs CBR 1000 and last bike back to Triumph with a Hinkley Trident 😃Happy Days.

A shame to be selling after all the work, hopefully the Morris Minor will now get much needed attention! Has the aluminium been clear-coated or is it a case of regular polishing? Looks great! Thanks for sharing!
@anotherpieceofskrap274 ай бұрын
It's a case of regular polishing / brilo pad! Marc will have a lot more time now to look at the Morris, so we look forward to seeing how he gets on, despite our "help" Thanks for watching 😎👍

@anotherpieceofskrap27 Hello mate, I found out today that I actually own your old Mazda MX5 NB :) I uninstalled the soft top today as I never intended to use it and it was making a knocking sound whilst driving, after putting the soft top up for the first time in what looked like a very very long time, I saw your KZbin sticker! Went back in the video history and low and behold, there's my car!!! If you're around in the south west / Devon / Somerset area if you wanted to we could meet up so you could see the car again, I'll even take ya out for a drive in it. :) It's had a lot of work done to it in the last year or so (during my ownership) thought you might be interested in hearing about it seeing what resulted :D
