Flauski Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I emptied my garage of one toy - only to refill it pretty quick with this; Maybe its because I am 1/2 English but I have always wanted a BSA A65. Tin 1965 Lightning sign painted by a kid was the first thing to be removed. More to follow 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flauski Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Has been sitting a while and in a builders garage. In other words, the oily areas has a light sprinking of collected saw dust. I emptied the old fuel and was happy to see that the tank has been sealed I was unhappy (but happy for avoiding a possible fatality) to see that the slides in the Amal monoblock carbs are scored and rooted. When I say a possible fatality, in the condition they were found in they were likely to jam with the throttle open, potentially lethal. I don't know what rubbish metal Amal used to use on their slides but apparently this is a common problem. I am sure the frame has been re-powder coated because it is in fantastic condition.
