Presumably similar to the Broughs that the great Ted Baragwanath raced so successfully at Brooklands. By all accounts, what he didn't know about JAP engines wasn't worth knowing! He was a brilliant engineer.
God dammit that chain on the left side of the engine is so close to your trousers and shoe lases it is scary to think about the consequences when the fabric gets caught in there and drag your feet into the the spinning metal parts
@@TheOTvideos sorry _a_ bike or precisely this one ? I think this was point aimed at. It looks like fresh from the dealer and never had a deep core test in a rainstorm. But trust me, anyone seeing it WANTS iT. Me rode a 1961 M100 Panther and it went in daily use (incl.⛈🌧) and weekly shopping.
Looks like it's got a Roots-compressor fitted (the black thing in front of the engine that one of the scary-close-to-the-foot chains goes to). The thingy above it is a massive carburettor, and there is some massive piping leading the mix into the cylinder heads.3
"WAIT! Can't ride yet! Let's see ...have to open two more fuel cock's ....4 more oil cock's ...re adjust the spark advance ....oh and open the chain oiler ...hmmm but I KNOW I am forgetting a couple more things ....damn it ...someone go fetch the manual!
Please upload a video of yourself kick-starting a roughly liter-sized twin drawing it's fuel/air mix through a roots blower to show us how it's done. Let's see the monster individual that can kick this beast to life with no struggle.
Seems to me like he’s doing things properly. Carefully nudging it over compression to avoid kickback, then giving it a proper kick to put some momentum into the crankshaft. Unless I’m missing something that’s how I would do it too.
Maybe he should get something that he can start easier, something with an e starter; a Honda rebel would suit him better. Riding a bike like that also requires a lot of strength and nohow, it’s not like throwing a couple of raw eggs 🍳 in a frying pan
@@hermannhase6243 haha you seem to know everything about motorcycles?🤣🤣 That man in the video made the whole motorcycle himself, so maybe he knows what he's doing😉
You can always spot an amateur rider by the way they drag their feet .. or hover them .. when taking off. They're not confident in their own riding abilities, so that one foot stays on the ground until they get some serious speed. Then, once they slow down, the foot goes right back down on the ground ~ their "security blanket" ~ dragging along the ground or hovering just above it. He did the turn-around "duck-walking" the bike with both feet. He's green as hell.
Lähes kaikki itsetehtyä mutta toki vanteet, navat yms uustuotanto osia. Lohkojen lisäksi esim sylinterit ja kannet itse koneistettuja, rungot ja tankit itsetehtyjä.
