My 1968 Royal Enfield Interceptor Mk1A getting it back on the road and coming across a few problems Also on the search for my late fathers Rudge Ulster motorcycle reg number HV 7825 not as I said in the video HK 7825.
Nice Mk1. I'm currently refurbishing a 1959 Royal Enfield Constellation. Lots to do, but great fun. Takes me back fifty years to my first Constellation! What torque did you tighten he head bolts, as workshop manuals from the 1960s are not to informative?
Hi yes I had a Constellation about 50 years ago which I built out of parts. I didn't know it had sidecar forks on it so at 90mph it got in a bit of a wobble.. I torqued the head bolts down to about 20ftlbs no more. Thanks for watching.
Yes I think they just need bedding in a bit as they are all new. I replaced the battery and now it starts second kick. Don't think there was enough power for the electronic ignition. Thanks for watching.
Prime it a gew kicks before turning on the key

Twin leading shoes must be adjusted perfectly or they just do not work.

Brilliant! She lives! A couple of long rides and it should be right as rain.
Taken me weeks to get her right, out for a ride next week.
@@KSL12 Loved the detail of all what you had to do to get the bike running in those two weeks!👍🏽
