Singles

Have a bit of a dilemma here as I'm not getting any further forward.

I've had to buy a new brake drum due to the sprocket worn out. I've measured it and exactly the same As my old one.

I have two Norton singles stored in the same garage. I have trouble with one of these machines getting condensation in the primary chain case. This can happen at any time summer or winter. What's going wrong?

Hello,  wonder if someone could tell me if the bakelite knob comes off on the steering damper, i cant get it to undo. Barry

hi there well it finally arrived so I thought I would do some commissioning work.

I gave a really good clean out as it was a little bit messy.

Refilled it and did a oil check.  

I have noticed an electric start Model 50 on the  Car and Classic website.
I imagine this is a one off, but has anyone any information on this bike?
it would be interesting to know a few more details.

Hi all - my 16H (WD) chugs away much the same as it has done since I built it in the mid 1990's but now - rather suddenly, it doesn't pull cleanly and will not slow-run without about having the air-choke half closed.  It has loads of compression,

On late '40s garden gate singles (ES2 & 30 Inter), what would be a good torque setting to aim for when tightening  the engine sprocket nut?   And what is the best way to secure the sprocket while tightening the nut?

Hi. 

I am interested in finding a 1950 500 International registration PMU3 
Last registered in 2004 according to dvla. Does anyone know where it is? 

Cheers: Chris. 

Can the original plastic float needle be replaced by the new metal needle?

On my M50 I run with no headgasket, but have developed a very slight oil leak from the drainage holes down the barrel after about 10,000 hard miles.It shows on the top couple of fins, even though I have "o" rings in a grove on the barrel.
