How I made a Motorcycle Roll Starter!

Making a Motorcycle Roll Starter from an old aluminium floor jack & a few bits n pieces! One of the last things I need to get the Norton to go. Just need to adjust the valves, set the timing make sure the oil system is all good & I hope it will be good to go!

I find it fascinating watching a master craftsman fabricate parts from scratch and build things. Your lathe work is first rate.

Thanks St! Not sure if it will work like this, it may take a few go's to get it right will give it a go on the MV soon!I have put the Bikes on the back burner for a bit, but was working on the Norton on Saturday. I want to get it running soon!

[@sthildas4857]

Yes I have been given a Honda VFR 800 which had some road rash on one side so cleaning that plus the bike.

Hey Lawren thanks for having a look!

[@timgerard9806]

Hi, so how did your starter work out? Any update? Did one drill work? Or did you need two? Or did you fit a starter motor? Do you have a video of it working? Great use of an old jack. I have an old stuffed floor jack and getting too old to push start race bikes 😂 Thanks.

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Thanks Tim! Sorry for being slack on that but I have had to stop on the Bikes while I get the Little Honda 's Body Done! Will give it a try soon & if it doesn't work will get a starter motor for it!

[@Hanlonsgarage]

Is that blue frame from a hydraulic jack jason?

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

Yes I video'd it but had to cut that bit out trying to get it under 15 minutes! thanks Craig

[@Hanlonsgarage]

I thought so, looks like my jack...lol

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

@@Hanlonsgarage I have had 2 of them, (aluminium ones) if you over tighten the valve screw after a bit they stop working. I will only buy the steel ones these days!

[@Hanlonsgarage]

Mine is steel, I had the aluminum one as well, it broke the first time I went to use it!! 300 bucks! Brought it back and got a steel one ! The hydraulic cylinder didn't work

[@jarnosaarinen4583]

@@Hanlonsgarage Yeh there just toys compared to a steel one, I have a steel one had it 25 years at least! Just bought a low profile steel one not to long ago it's heavy duty should last years too! Thanks for your support mate!
