BSA Lightning description
|
Purchased this bike from an acquaintance who rode it some and shortly thereafter began a restoration. He had the motor and gear box apart, installed a lot of new parts, put it back together and could never get it to run. Frustrated, it sat in his garage for the last 5 years collecting dust. OK...so here's what I could see he did or what he said he did:
---New pistons and rings ---New Boyer ignition ---Reconditioned the head ---New clutch plates and springs ---New handlebars ---New air cleaners ---New silencers ---New brake shoes ---New shocks/springs ---New foot rubbers ---New cables (not all) ---New Brit cloth wire harness ---New tires ---Repaint tank and tins (very presentable w/metal side covers) ---Rechromed fenders, chain guard, headlight bucket and hub cap ---Split the cases and went through the upper and lower half of the motor and gearbox inspecting and replacing worn parts ---New gaskets and seals ---Recovered the seat Here's what I did: ---Replaced the Boyer with a new Pazon ignition ---Replaced the rectifier with a new Podtronics solid state unit ---Inspected and corrected wiring issues ---Replaced carbs with new pair of 930 Amals, 190/106 jetting ---Replaced the old coils with new 6 volt pair ---Replaced plugs and plug wires ---Replaced horn/dipper switch ---New battery ---Pulled the tank, drained the old fuel and cleaned thoroughly ---Replaced all the fluids with fresh ---Replaced the fuel lines ---Reset the timing ---Reset the valves ---Cleaned up everything and buffed the cases As you can see, this Beezer has been almost completely refurbished. It is not to concours standards but will make a great Sunday driver. Since there are no miles on the rebuild, it will take some running time to properly seat the rings and valves and then you'll be able to really dial in the carbs and timing. |
