I finally found good company for my 52 Vincent. I found a 1955 Gold Star that has been on display for many years but does run. But not very good. Hard to start and backfires thru the carb. Now I need to find a guru that can help me get this bike running as good as my Black Shadow. Or perhaps a publication that can give me instruction on the setup for the carb and general rules. Looked at the UK Gold Star club but they don't take cc over the web so it's hard to join.
Side note is that my BS had a leak on the seam at the rear of the tank. Good news is that my friend was able to Tig up the tank and stop the leak. Now I just have to repair the paint and I'm good to go.
