And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
ah, yes. as the Brits say. old oil is bad oil. so you must always keep adding more ! like if someone walks up to your house and sees a oil spots on your driveway, they KNOW you have a motor car.
Back in the 70s when I had a HD Sportster HD sold branded oil pans and HD branded 90 weight oil. I used to buy it by the case, probably put a quart every 3 days or so. 90 weight flows like honey are 85 degrees or so.
My Sportster had the shift on the right hand side where God intended it to be. As did my Bultaco Pursang.
You would not believe the power increase due to the 2-into-1 exhaust on those vertical twins. Ran them on Nortons, but with longer reverse cone tail. On the '71-'75 bikes, the stock clutch couldn't handle the increased power. (Main jets went WAY up in size.) Had to play games with parts from the '69 and '74 clutches to make it work.
It's a vintage Triumph so the shifter is on the right, so where's the rear brake pedal?

Flat track racer, so may not have rear brakes.
ReplyDeleteIt appears the continuous oil loss system is functioning as intended...

DeleteMikuni carbs of the same bore size also add more power over the Amal (oem) brand carbs.
