Love the look of your bike. Reminds me a bit of an old BSA Goldie. Very sweet. I don't think i'd be too concerned about the dents in the mufflers restricting flow. I haven't been through the rest of your thread, but if the motor is pretty much standard and doesn't rely on a free flowing intake & exhaust, it won't make much difference. Good luck, well done once again.

Threw it back together for a couple pics with my brothers bike.

Going out of town for a week so the exhaust issues are going to have to wait.

There is just enough clearance for the tire not to touch. Its close though haha.

Yah I love my brothers bike, you can find his build thread on here also if your interested in it.

Well I've ran into some problems getting it to run.

Valve timing is right, points are right, getting a good spark, getting fuel, and I cant get it to fire at all. Not really sure what else I can try.

Compression numbers?  Also... make sure you don't have the coils switched.

I don't have the compression numbers but I will likely be picking up a compression tester this weekend and will post em when I know. The coils are not switched.

Getting quite frustrated with it at the moment.

Got it started! And it runs great, just a tad bit lean but nothing a little jetting can't fix.


The issue was that I installed the spark advancer backwards so it ended up sparking on the wrong stroke. Feel like a dumbass hahah. I'll upload some videos soon
