Im having trouble knowing which orientation the kickstart quadrant should be in when i'm fitting the casing?(1956 g3ls burman)I can't figure it out?

@terryjones6229 8 күн бұрын

If it's the same as the Burman CP then make the teeth face the long end of the case and give it two full turns using the kickstart handle to tension. Minute 15 of the video shows the technique. Hope that helps. Let me know how you get on

Terry, how does that nut on the kickstart operating mech come off? I can’t shift it..

@terryjones6229 16 күн бұрын

Hi Bob - mine came off fairly easily by using an adjustable spanner to hold the bolt head and a socket to undo the nut. Might be worth trying a little heat (heat gun or hairdryer) followed by a penetrant line WD40 or GT85. Leave it for a bit then try again

@@BobbyD-r6w here’s the rebuild video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6Wykqd3jthpmJIsi=5rtox_iTyMGr-bxo I did use a liquid bonding agent as you will see but it went in so tight it may not have been necessary

What year did ajs/matchless introduce the swingarm ?

@terryjones6229 2 ай бұрын

Not sure of the exact year but post war bikes got sprung rear suspension in the form of twin shocks and primitive swinging arms. The shocks looked like jam pots and that became an unofficial nickname for Matchless/AJS bikes.

Excellent work Terry; interesting editing, a bit of local history and quite enough drama for one day's ride.

Very good video Terry, one of your best perhaps. I really enjoyed the travelogue and history behind places we take for granted.

My favourite poem. I Am! By jhon clair. I am-yet what I am none cares or knows; My friends forsake me like a memory lost: I am the self-consumer of my woes- They rise and vanish in oblivious host, Like shadows in love’s frenzied stifled throes And yet I am, and live-like vapours tossed Into the nothingness of scorn and noise, Into the living sea of waking dreams, Where there is neither sense of life or joys, But the vast shipwreck of my life’s esteems; Even the dearest that I loved the best Are strange-nay, rather, stranger than the rest. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below-above the vaulted sky.

I had a WD Matchless 350 G 3 with rigid frame , the G3L had a SPRUNG frame. Easy to start ,rode it to work and college daily.

Why does the bike carbon up so frequently.? I have 1959 AJS Csr 650 that after 8400+ miles is only showing slight carbonization. I do use additives in the petrol And use a high zinc motor oil. Would that possibly help? Remember fondly my 1952 AJS M18 single, thanks so much for the detailed video.
