[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 126737, member: 597"] Hi there All........well after 8 months of work, countless hours and loads of money.........here is my Norvin racer that started off with a Jawa (ESO) 500 single engine, now converted to a Vincent Comet engine..........This was it's first run today, and we ran it several times adjusting the ignition timing and the mixture on the Gardner carby........After this it ran very well with no major issues or hesitation when opening the throttle.........There are lots of nice features which I am happy to discuss, and my guess is that it should perform rather well........Hoping to take it to the track later this coming week and give it some shake down runs, bed the brakes in and perhaps set up the front and rear suspension which is all new and fully adjustable.........Must thank Neal Lowe for his help in setting up the ignition and my wife for videoing this without earmuffs on........... ;) ......... Cheers for now.......... Greg. [MEDIA=youtube]94k8krso4HE[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
