  Tap size please?
Posted by: Graham Honnor - 15-09-2018, 05:15 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (2)

Hello All

Could somebody please tell me what size tap I will need for the screws that 
hold the brake drum onto a '37 Ruby.
One of mine has damaged threads inside the hole and I'm hoping to save
it by running a tap through gently.

Many thanks as always

Graham

  Sticking exhaust valves
Posted by: Adrian Payne - 14-09-2018, 08:49 PM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (13)

Hello All
In the post "Books and lubricants" Dave Mann mentions an oil causing the exhaust valves to stick.
Is this a common problem and what is the cure?
I think I have an engine that exhibits the signs, a regular misfire after a short run even after changing the entire fuel and ignition system.
Many thanks
Adrian.

  Magneto Drive Rotation !
Posted by: James Anderson - 14-09-2018, 10:49 AM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (19)

I am faced with a slightly odd problem that I hope someone can help me with. I sent a completely 'dead' Blic Magneto to be rebuilt. On the casing, it has an arrow engraved on it indicating a clockwise drive. However, when it was rebuilt, I was told that it was orientated to an anti-clockwise drive ! In that direction of rotation, it has a brilliant spark. I wondered if anyone knew if there was a way to alter its internal configuration to suit clockwise rotation (? a different cam) or some clever gearbox device that I could fit externally to reverse the direction of its drive?

Having had to drain my Ruby radiator a few times, I wasn't  happy to see the water running all over the wiring loom, so I removed  the rad and drilled the tap 5/16 put a inch long piece of 5/16 brake pipe covered with J B Weld into the tap with 1/2 showing, fastened a piece of rubber hose to the showing pipe and now the water drains into a container with out running all over the steering & wiring  Big Grin
