Sorry, never mind.

Causing trouble for 75 years,,,, to be fair after causing my parents wedding, I didn't cause much trouble the 1st 2 or 3 years.

HPbyStan

Does your 580 have a larger combustion chamber? , if so it probably could use a little more spark lead.

HPbyStan

In my NOT widely shared opinion the oem MX cam is best used in an observed trials engine as it gives an instant low rpm blast of power when you don't need high rpm hp anyway. I think there are some modified versions that give a bit more power as the revs come up but I have no experience with them. T...

It's a MX cam that was only listed for a few years. It uses the std flat tappets.
My 250 cam, the 541X3 was also only listed for a few years as well.
My 500 cam, the 541X4 has become one of their largest selling BSA cams though.
X3 & X4 both use the C15 type tappets.

he must flip houses. On the start page it says "my new address" or like that. so that's where I sent it. It was just a CCM factory page explaining why they blocked the two drain holes under the oil pump and drilled into the crank area to drain the timing area.

Found out why you didn't get my snail mail, it just turned up here today .

I sent it to Rickard Nebrer

Vinkelvagen 5

SE- 268 73 Billeberga

Sweden
It said " Return to sender, Insufficient Address,, unable to forward.

I would stick with the X4 as it has a nice power band. If you have the source, I would stick with the dual spark plugs with the B50s "old school" combustion chamber also..

HPbyStan

Geez, they must have put my letter on a postal raft and not a jet plane.

HPbyStan

And Merry Christmas to you two as well as the BSA gang here.

HPbyStan

Rickard, I just sent you a Snail Mail. When you get this and see my penmanship you will see why I usually use e mail.

It looks like the tire must have moved on the rim and tore the stem out of the tube. I was hoping I wouldn't have to use rim locks. I can't believe the bike generated enough power to shift the tire along the rim. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1771/43129124905_755b4bbd9f_o_d.jpg Scott At least with...

Yes, Thank you !! Like new '67 B50

The finished bike is now owned by "Weird Tim" on this forum. A nice photo is on the FB B25 page right under the pic of my slightly modified B25 engine but do you suppose I can get it from there to here ?

HPbyStan

Got a photo as far as my FB timeline page but my @#$%^&* computer won't let me post it here.

I really wanted this book but no transaction should be this difficult

.

HPbyStan

Guess I didn't order it after all. Just got an email that my order was canceled and my PayPal account wouldn't be charged ?????

HPbyStan

Ordered the book. Tks to those who helped.

HPbyStan

In simple enough terms that a thick headed Yank can send for it .TIA !

Thank you guys, I had a good day. March 15th, big day, Stan turns 77, BSA buys Triumph lock stock & barrel in 1951, I go from only being allowed to lift 10 pounds clear up to now 25 pounds. Whee,

Stan has been fondling nurses and making sure all the latest medical equipment is up to date. He is now supposed to be taking it easy with his feet up, so if anyone winds him up and raises his blood pressure, THE MODERATOR WILL BE ROUND!! Hope you are feeling better now Stan :cool: :lol: Last few d...

Well, here's Stan again talking about 20/50 Ams/Oil as a cure all. Ams/Oil s base stocks are so good that they don't have to add friction modifiers like most synthetics which cause clutch problems. One of the major USA flattrack race teams used Ams/Oil in their Rotaxs to cure the clutch problems the...

If one was worrying about kick back with 34 degrees BTDC, why not just use the 15 degree advance points assembly.

HPbyStan

Speaking of looking the part, that ride looks like a show bike.

HPbyStan

Like.

HPbyStan

I'll give that a go Barry, TKS !

HPbyStan

I found a really clear photo of my rear motor mount fix BUT the damn computer won't let me cut and paste it. I've been trying different plans for three days now with no success.

HPbyStan

Photobucket has sure turned into an even bigger bad joke. They now want $500 USD to rescue MY pictures from there.

HPbyStan

Very clean ! Nice job Midgie.

HPbyStan

Gerry did get the password problem straightened out for me :-)

6 cylinder Mercury Marine outboard engine. Has the right threads, right dia., and 1/2 inch longer,,,,, Or just have Ed make them up for you.

HPbyStan

Thanks mates ! I see I even made it onto the www.vft.org/vftforsale2.html page.

HPbyStan

You guys are quoting numbers that are being measured at all different valve lifts. You need to get on the same page and THEN compare numbers.

HPbyStan

If one lives long enough one can see / hear all kinds of stuff imo.

HPbyStan

If the inlet opens at 51 degrees before tDC @ .040" lift, your cam is too far advanced and wont be a big rpm'er.

HPbyStan

I didn't realize any of the B25 rods came without the oiling hole. Shows ta go ya what I know these days.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE LAST FRAME I'LL BUILD FROM SCRATCH. Bike is now racing on the South Island of New Zealand.

When last I was at your web site, you were talking about building your own frames. What became of that ?

I think you should replace the unit. Those tabs are prone to breaking without having been hammered flat. Just make sure you don't get one for a Triumph twin as while they look almost the same, they rotate in the opposite direction so the advance unit is backwards as well.
