My understanding is that an old engine ( I’m talking old Brit ) has “bits/film” of crud stuck to it’s innards and using modern semi/full synthetic oils can loosen this crud via the additives/detergent in it.Would this apply to our SOHC fours?

In the winter my Velo single wouldn’t start so I’d have to change to a thinner grade oil also had to drain sump if left more than couple days because would you believe it it would wetsump it also leaked a lot of oil

My new to me 750F came to me with fresh oil and filter,time to change the oil again.Previous owner been running it on 20/50 mineral oil,I don’t have enough 10/40 mineral oil ( find it harder to source these days ) what are your thoughts on grades of oil to use? Apologies for bringing up the subject but it is cold and wet outside😂😂

Lol 😂 My last Brit bike a 750 twin vibrated somewhat more than previous twins and bits would fall off or come loose every trip.It had an aftermarket oil cooler fitted by a previous owner routed close ie touching the drive chain and yes it wore through dumping contents of oil tank on road 😂😂

Never owned a Hinckley Triumph although test rode a Thruxton and Boneville in 2004,I liked the Thruxton but bought a Suzuki SV1000😁 I have had a few “proper “ Meriden Triumphs in past and still love the look of them,the Hurricane being top of my bike wish list😎

My mate had a K3 same time as my F2 in 1977,he had to faff around undoing side “ knobs” to lift his seat I remember making new ones for him out of brass

Here’s picture of my F2 I owned in 1977,I think it’s a Rickman carrier ( the top box is )it doesn’t swivel up like the one Mick shows,didn’t that type go on the K3 model?

I went on a bike parking on wet grass/mud,very busy no bargains so didn’t spend owt my mate bought a complete nos unused 4-4 exhaust system for his Nighthawk £80 !! on Silvers stand got scratches on but still a bargain.I always say I’ll never go again but think I mean it this time due to mainly overpriced crap on most stalls as stated anything available on line now
