Long stroke star twin

[Drew Back]

Just a few pics of my star twin motor still missing quite a few little bits but it is progressing..

what state is the rolling chassis in, or do you just have a motor?
Its a cool motor 

[Drew Back]

I have frame forks wheels tranny etc no fenders a beat up gas tank I need a lot for the motor such as valves and guides clutch pistons motor mounts mag head bolts etc all the little stuff that adds up I guess maybe on the road in a year or so if I'm lucky..

Hi Drew do you till have this outer timing cover? Its the wrong one for your engine but its the correct one for my 1947 A7 if you want to sell it.
cheers

How many bsa's have you got Terry! 

[Drew Back]

Hi Terry yes I still have it I noticed it is missing bottom hole which I thought was odd shoot me a pm and we can talk about it..

 Hey Terry, I just had to chase this up; is there different timing covers for the early/later Longstroke engines; what's da go ?

[terryk]

Hi Dutch yes the 1947 longstrokes didnt have a hole at the bottom of the timing cover therefore crankcases and timing covers are different to the 1948 onwards type.

Hey KiwiGF I recon you can never have enough BSAs. I have actually ventured into Ariels in the last 6mths. I have a disease I cant help it. I was restricting myself just to BSAs but I used to belt around in the mid 1970s on Ariels with a mate of mine so my disease just cant be contained.

 Thanks Terra- if I come across any, I'll let you know in case you need more (but don't wanna encourage anything )..I'll get along now before I catch something

Been doing some work to get a roller going. Does anyone know what this gas tank is from no top hole and fits plunger perfectly..
