It's hard for me to see why the standard Breathers went down ?.
Misc: Everything Else Starting Problem - Series 'C' BIG Single
- Thread starter Jez Nemeth
- Start date
Hi Vibrac, Got one -apologies PCV, not what I said. Used it on the Comet 500 and no issues at all all -good stuff, still have it -it's run off the front Valve spring cap, but may find a better outlet, that lower rear breather???
Well, fixed the 'spout' of the BT Breather -have to look twice, quick glance you'd assume standard depending on angle -needs a polish and have a suitable 90 deg rubber engine water pipe that would send it cleanly backwards from there. Just like to use the original tools and the Cap tool K1 naturally fits and does it up tight...
Yup think that's ok, and still in keeping to my critical eye... can just see that MAPP kit made by Vortex in the background on pic 3 Bill.

Come on Jez !, I have to HEAR it.
Maybe a slightly thinner pipe , And you can work it inside and up the petrol tank ?.

Yup Pipe is double thickness, reinforced an 1 1/2" OD -ain't gonna bend too happily at all -thinner pipe is what I have in an old Seachest in the garage -can't encourage hoarding enough...
Starting? See what I can do if the bike is willing when I get back ... off to Ballet now, wait in a car park in Chepstow for an hour and drive the girls back again -Dad the Taxi...

Reprieve from Ballet run, one of the mum's collected kid...rock and roll lifestyle eh?
Ladies and Gentlemen the much anticipated World premiere of -'FrankenComet' ; JR's 833cc Vincent single running in a bike... haven't even seen it myself yet -

Well I thought the acting was particularly good -method actors you know -the Vincent played it's part superbly don't you think?...
Starting still a problem, everything I can surmise is pointing at that carb -but the new HT leads from Green Ignitions not arrived yet, so those contacts still playing up. Closed the slide a smidge, and turned in the air pilot again 1/4 or less, lacking a bit of ooomph to hold the tick over strongly -feels weak to me...

Well Done Jez, Magic,
Maybe don't go for too slow a tick over , It's a Race Bike !.
Leave the long pipe ! , Hang it over you Shoulder ,
That would be a good talking point.
You have a " One Off There ", Top Man.
Mixture sound fine, No spitting back.

When it's warmed up , I need to hear it Blip, As I say not too slow tickover,
Poor old big ends ?.
Maybe another day.
At least you don't have to worry about cam settings working with a long stroke,
Neither do I !, Thanks .
Cheers Bill.

Nope, no spitting back at all, and no smoke from exhaust, none -but can smell fuel in the air after running it so there's some there -but like you say it was never designed for strawberries and cream and Leisurely Sunday afternoons on the lawn...I agree tick over needs to be up a bit, what it likes.
When you do get the starting kick right, it's just as easy as the 500 - However 9/10 it's not right, and that decomp lever is a blessing -and I get to keep the Bowden lever to boot which I just think looks an essential part of the bike -
