- This video is part of a series covering the recommissioning of this 'Norvil' Norton Commando 850 MKIII Roadster. It was built by Norvil in 2012 using new and upgraded parts throughout, including uprated brakes, electrics, starter motor and various upgraded engine parts etc. etc. However, shortly after it was built (only 900 miles on the clock) the then owner decided they didn't like it (too high and heavy for them) and left it sitting in their shed - for 10 years! These videos follow the recommissioning of the bike after its long slumber. This particular video shows the Carburettors being stripped down and cleaned. To begin with the float bowls are removed and then the pilot circuit is inspected and cleaned, the main jet and pilot jet are cleaned and then the float and float needle are checked, along with the float height, before the carbs are reassembled. The different parts of the carbs that affect different parts of the throttle range are also explored and identified. (Apologies for the general quality of this video. I am looking to improve all my technical equipment - sound, vision and editing - asap. This video is just annoying to watch at times due to the poor sound and vision. 😒😒😒)
Great video Chris, I always learn from your work.
To adjust the float height move the brass seat up/down in the float bowl, use heat and move the seat up or down as required.
You should always change the plastic floats for the new StayUp floats as they are ethanol resistant, that was one of the reasons they were developed in the first place,
Hi Chris, any idea on what the bike price will be?
I'm afraid I don't know yet. I'll contact the owner and see if he's got a price in mind. If so, I'll post it back on here. 👍
Ive spoken to him and he's looking for £15k. If you're interested I'll let you have his contact details. 👍
