Mels 500e Engine Rebuild

[ellrider]

Hope it runs as good with the Harley carb as it did with the old amal!

Harley carb???? you go through the expense of getting a 500 engine and rebuilding it only to put a CV carb on it.

You may as well of stuck with a 350 motor.

I'd recommend you get a real carb if you want to release the devil in it.

My 560 Aprilia engine was flat as a witches tit with the HD carb... Different bike with the Dellorto

[ellrider]

My 560 with sidecar works well with the CVs slow power delivery, no snatching etc but I would guess that a 500 with a CV is equivalent to a 350 with a Dellorto.

Looks like youve got some experimenting to do Mel!!

Omg, that silver engine stand looks like one of an early batch I made a couple of years ago. I swapped them out for parts for my 604 project and now don't have one for myself.





I believe that one netted me a front disc guard . Dodgy dealings with Mel in a hotel car park .

Watching the topic with interest as my bike currently spits more fuel out of the carb than into the engine, so far looks like valve trouble .

Yep thats one of Stuarts! Still going strong! I borrowed a yellow one the same ages ago off Craig!

I think I swapped you for a carb or something, I recall a dodgy meet in some hotel car park years OK.

I think I swapped spit with you for a carb or something, I recall a dogging meet in some hotel car park years ago, OK.
