Twins / Primary case screw set for 1968 MklV Spitfire
« on: 12 June, 2024, 17:23:49 »
Hi about to order a new set of screws for the primary cover. My bike is a 1968, but is a hybrid originally manufactured in 1967, with the Y extension on the frame and engine number.
Do I order pre (BSF) or post (UNC) 1968 screw sets, as I believe they changed thread at this time ?
Thanks

Twins / Primary cover damaged screw heads

Primary cover screw removal problem…..
My A65 still has the original Phillips head screws fitted from new. Was going to remove the case to check the chain tensioner. All the screws came loose except the drain and level screws at the bottom which are pretty chewed up and I can’t get a purchase with a screwdriver. Tried an impact drive but the heads are too far gone.
Any top tip for removing them ?

Twins / A65 Spitfire mkiv needs choke ?
« on: 04 May, 2024, 20:15:35 »
Hi just put a set of new Amal Premiers on the Spitfire as had odd carbs previously and didn’t idle well (a 930 and a 932 !)
When starting cold have to really flood the carbs and choke for it to start, but then needs choke on even when cold or warm to rev cleanly from idle.
Tick over with or without choke is fine. It’s the initial throttle response that is poor if start to rev with out choke. It sort of fluffs then picks up.
I’m guessing it’s too lean on the pilot jet ? Will need to check what’s fitted. Has 190 main jet and needles are on the middle clip- am I on the right track ?
