  • We've solved erratic running on other people's triples before, but now it's my turn and we think it's the usual problem so let's find out.

    Watching your trials and tribulations over the carbs is putting me off buying another A65. Here in Tenerife that job would have taken several months. Spares are obviously not freely available here and getting stuff delivered is fraught with danger
    Anyhoo great find and great result

      Thanks for the comment and interest Richard. Oh that’s not the idea - to put you off! To be honest, triples are much more fickle re carburation than twins and I was unlucky with the old fuel pipe and the perforated banjo. Just shows how important regular servicing is on the old gals.

    Plenty of stuff getting chucked in the bin, good job you have plenty of spares available !

      Yes Stew if you’ve got the stash then use it. A shame sometimes but if it doesn’t work and it’s damaged then it’s toast. Even if it’s chromed.

    Angus, have you ever thought of scraping the banjo flat?
    I always checked how flat the mating surfaces were on the faces of my carbs and if any were distorted, I scraped them flat that way you get a better seal

    • @BSAPowerSet

      Hi Alexander thanks for the interest and comment. Yes I would have tried to flat the surface if I didn’t have a new original one. But it was (is) as rough as hell as well as not flat so I would have had to remove too much material which might have overlay compressed the filter when tightening.

      Hi Angus, very interesting video as usual. We're older interested amateurs so our thought processes are very similar. But we get there in the end.
      One point that struck me....why not try a crows foot spanner to tighten the carburettor stud nuts? Just a thought.
      I was very please to see in the foot note you had a good trouble free run out the following day.

    • @BSAPowerSet
      @BSAPowerSet  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Cheers Nigel. I don't have any crows foot spanners but good idea. I get by OK with the long regular 1/2 inch. Thanks for the interest and comment.

    too bad you didn't have your Gopro with you on some of the trip. The sound of that engine is just some of the best, so we hope for better luck next time. Please!

      Noted JC. Your wish is my command.

    Have you got a fork oil seal leak? There were many wrong seals fitted to these forks. Right size but for a rotary application. Design specification cock up.

    • @BSAPowerSet
      @BSAPowerSet  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I don’t think so Tony. The oil seal dust caps seem to leave a black mark on the stanchions after a run. It’s not an oily residue. I didn’t restore the forks though so I’ll keep an eye on that.

    Plastic fuel lines are a disaster, just switch to the type of rubber used for automotive oil lines.

    • @BSAPowerSet

      Good point Paul. That’s what I’ve used on the Lightning but dummy here has ordered some proper sized plastic and ferrules for the R3. I’m a sucker for aesthetics so don’t think black would suit the bike. To be fair the set of plastic that I just binned lasted over 10 years. Thanks for the interest and suggestion.
