Seeley- first pics

[Eyeguy]

It's up on the bench for usual service stuff and an opportunity to remake some of the connections, you know the sort of thing. PO slathered it in thick grease, so the frame is mostly excellent underneath.

Thank you

No, the Bonnie is a T140D Special, quite nice for British junk!

The carbs are 31mm Keihin CR smoothbore jobless, they look brand new. I was hoping someone might have some initial settings 

The air screws were only half a turn out, surely its more like 1.5 as a starting point? The PO only ran it briefly as was and reckoned it was overcarbed. Possibly more like over rich.

Are the airscrews at the front of the carb or rear like most old ones were?I recall this seems to make a difference but sorry cant remember what, maybe Trig can answer that one.
The only Brit bike I would take on is a pre-unit Bonnie or a BSA A10 with cos they were the only ones I liked that's why I asked you what it was

The air screws are intake side I.e turning them out lets in more air, I think! Assuming the jetting is correct, I think they might be set too rich.
I've got an A10 as well, a RGS replica, one of my favourite bikes. Having said that, the unit Triumph twins make far more sense on busy roads, they handle well, have great brakes and are pretty reliable, once sorted.

Hi Paul...........I thought I recognised that moniker......a Seeley now, and very nice too by the look of it.

Are all the rotaries gone now, or did you hang on to one?

I've still got two rotators, Mick, the RE5M and the Norton Classic ( which I'll never sell).
 
Kevin, of course, you only live round the corner!
