Hi I'm new to the club and forum over the years I've owned lots of big singles British and Japanese
But have just bought my first B31
It's a 1950 ridged it's pretty standard and has its original engine and frame
I have 2 problems if anyone can help
How do I fit the Magnito pinion accurately ? On my AJS I just put a socket against it and give it a sharp tap but that doesn't seem to work on the beesa it won't lock onto the tapper
Also the bike is running very rich it will only start with the throttle wide open and the plug is black with soot not oil its has a 376 mono block with the right size jets and cut away I've rebuilt the carb with new gaskets and float needle
The ignition timing is close considering pinion problem but I don't think that's it
I'm missing something just don't know what
