Singles / c15 bad spark
« on: 07 August, 2017, 12:18:16 »
hi guys .i need some advise .after my recent rebuild of my 1960 c15
im having bad spark & backfiring issues. i fitted a new coil & condensor
during rebuild .but on rechecking theres practicly no spark. so i can only presume i have a faulty coil
or condensor. i cant replace the points as i cant find a set that fits only naff copies
so i cleaned the face /s up and to be fair look ok
it will start eventually but runs eratic..& backfires when you crack her up
and now its cracking me up.any advise guys
cheers ian :'(

Singles / Re: C15 oil leaks!
« on: 17 March, 2017, 22:26:46 »
hi richard . well what can i say i too have 2 japs in the garage 1 being a rd 250 f
and a klx 250. and i also like you bought a c 15 . again offered to me .as part of a deal
welcome to leaky bsa hell.eekkk
i too managed to sort out some leaks before giving up.and decided to take the engine out.
mine was leaking from the oil manifold under engine. primary gasket .head gasket..and finaly
the pesky kickstart witch on my 1960 dizzy model has no oil seal
i could actualy watch the oil run out of the gearbox when the outer cover was not fitted
i finished the rebuild on the bench and decided to fill the gearbox back up .to save time
and when i came back to the shed in the morning to fit it back in
hay presto a huge puddle o gearbox wee. and it smells like wee .doesent it!
im in the process of honing out the casing to fit a seal from a late model c15.   good luck richard we both will need it.... :'(

HI ROB . I THINK I MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS YOU HAVE WITH MY C15
A NEW GASKET BLEW .IN LES THAN FIFTY MILES
IVE GOT SOME SHEET BRASS .AND IM GOING TO DOUBLE UP .N MAKE ANOTHER GASKET
TO SLIP UNDERNEATH
IVE MADE MANY GASKETS OVER THE YEARS
IF THE BRASS IS NICE AND SOFT YOU CAN PUNCH THE HEAD BOLT HOLES OUT BY USEING A SMALL SOCKET ON A FLAT
SURFACE AND TAP WITH A COPPER HAMMER .
AND CUT IT OUT CAREFULLY WITH TINSNIPS
HOPE THIS HELPS.AND GOOD LUCK ;)
