Timing seems OK, points appears to be .10 inch rather than .12 but its difficult to get in there with a feeler gauge and see exactly? Tried Malcolms method and still no joy

Hi Malcom, yes i'm new to this bike and classic bikes in general so thanks for the advice. Its pretty much the process im following.
Julian, the timing has been set but i'll check it again, along with points and pick up.

Hi Julian, ive been told it should be easy to start but its not, there's clearly something wrong..... I went to a VMCC meet yesterday and no-one there could kick it over either, we could only get it started with a push.
Yes im using the valve lifter, far too much compression otherwise. Will check the clutch tomorrow and will also try the valve clearance. Thanks

Hi John, yes its fitted with an NGK LZFH cap, the HT lead was replaced at the time of the magneto rebuild. Ive measured the lead with a meter and its 0 KOhms . Im also using a Champion (non resitor) L82C plug which is new.
One thing worth mentioning is that the kick start occassionally slips, im not sure if thats affecting it but i expect thats because its taking such an hammering
Does anyone know a trusted BSA Mechanic in the East Yorks / Hull area that could fix this?

Hi, I have a 1954 B33 500cc fitted with a Lucas MO1 Mag/dyno. Once started the engine runs fine without missing a beat but it really difficult to kick start. It will push start but even that takes a few a goes. Ive had the Magneto rebuilt by Priory Magneto's, Its had a full carb rebuild, and has been timed and tuned. Ive had a number of people try to kick start it but were all strugling.
Any ideas what this could be as im getting desperate.....
Thanks
Mark
