After getting this machine to run, following its arrival as a non runner thanks to a blocked pilot jet in the carb, some basic checks and servicing were attended to and an MOT test booked, as requested by the owner. It was a trouble free ride there - where it passed - and back again, although we had a light wash in each direction and a brief slip on a newly wet patch of road at one point on the return trip. This machine's engine appeared to be in a fairly standard state of tune, apart from a K&N type air filter and less restrictive silencer.

Thank you Paul Another enjoyable ride. I try not to ride in the rain any more, as I'm too old to get rusty. The way I see it, you get wet so I don't have to. Thanks again.

I live in Wales and went through this earlier. It just rains all the time. I see you are doing the decomp to save the starter clutch. Early Hinckley Triumphs had similar issues so its not just Enfield.

Nice sounding bike, other than the rain, it looked like a fun trip.

Thanks for that Paul, I enjoyed watching this one. And thanks for the two Triumphs article in the latest Real Classics, the highlight of this issue.

It was a patch of diesel that finished off my final ride on a Bullet. Funny enough just on my way home from getting an MOT.

I bought this bike. It now lives in Monmouth. It's going very well apart from the gearbox takes a bit of getting used to - I keep getting neutrals between 3,4 and 5. If anybody has any suggestions on how to fix that, I'd be very grateful.

Paul, on the AVL engines the decomp is an exhaust valve lifter rather than the older style ‘mini valve in the head’. I know the pushrod cups are really shallow too so are you not worried about a pushrod jumping out of the cup if using this method to stop the motor?
@paulhenshaw4514
@paulhenshaw4514 2 года назад
Hi Dave, it is ok as the way it is put together, the valve lifter lifts the cam follower as well, so the pushrod stays engaged, although pushrods have been known to jump out for other reasons, such as excessive clearance and high revs.

Darn, my googles got wet again.Oh well its Wales.If it were yours do you think a new Amal carb. would justify the cost? Glad your home safe.
@paulhenshaw4514
@paulhenshaw4514 2 года назад
Hi Herman and thanks again. I think it runs very well on the standard carb and I would only fit an Amal if it were a tuned engine, needing a larger item.

It's up for sale Paul. Is it worth buying? Atb
@paulhenshaw4514
@paulhenshaw4514 2 года назад
It seems to be in good condition, runs well and shows low miles. The paint on the side panels was a bit poor [aerosol?], but otherwise pretty tidy.

I gave my Electra X away, it was a pile of unreliable junk.

The best RE dealer in the country told me some years ago the 350/500 Bullets were fine but to steer clear of the Electra as they were unreliable. Advise I took heed of.

@@theoutlier9053 The carburettor was the least of its problems. It was so bad I came very close to pouring a gallon of petrol over it and setting fire to it.
