Your very good Mr TWEED. Enjoying your videos. THANKYOU. 👍👍👍 LOADS OF PAITENCE.
Thank you Ian 🙂
Excellent stuff as usual. I can watch that lathe until the cows come home. Bugger! The cows have come home... 🐂🐮👍
Thanks Bill, off to the milking parlour you go........fear not as there's always more lathe work 🙂
this chanel should have much more follower.
Thanks Anna, glad you found us 😊
Very satisfying seeing the new parts being made, shame you had to take it apart again, been there, done it, soon forgotten! Thanks for sharing!
As they say on Fab Rats Gary, do it twice do it right 😁
Blue Peter was never this entertaining.
Is there no end to your talents Mr T. I think you should get a special badge for that delightful episode.
Thanks Russell.......my Mum always said i was special 😉
@@TweedsGarage I did like the line "always ask your Mum to turn the lath on."
This made me laugh out loud.😆
Great video's Mr tweed looking forward to the next one
Thanks Martin
Great episode Mr Tweed, it had it all, modern and vintage 😀
My pleasure good Sir
Quality work in both terms of high skill content and excellent production. You deserve more views and subs
@H&PEvans ah you never know, there might be a huge Valerie Singleton fan base out there thatll subscribe 😉
Reminds me of my 2 stroke days, 60 years ago!...were has that time gone.nice vid very enjoyable
Check behind the sofa, it might be there😉
Well what can I say... it's very satisfying to see the little engine go back together. I always watch the funny bits at the end. I've thought about doing the same thing, but with the F-bomb going off like it's D-day that's nearly impossible for me. You need to invest in one of those children's books that has the peel off stickers in it... that will take care of those pesky warning lights. Cheers from the Shed
Many have tried the sticker trick over in the UK Randy but the MOT inspectors aren't big fans and will peel them off to check behind 😉, with your rashly mentioned possible trip to the hardware store i should imagine that will be rich material for a blooper reel 😀
Mr Tweed, or should I say Valerie, a fine video again. I'm hoping the wig is the only thing you wear of Mrs Tweeds apparel and nothing below the surface so to speak. 😉
I learn something in every video, today's is the lack of gaskets in these engines.
Maybe we'll see the neighbours being poisoned with two stroke smoke in the next episode.
Thanks for sharing.
A lady never tells Colin 😉
Loved watching your skill and patience replicating replacement parts with precision. It brought back memories when I left school age 15 in 1953 and started as a messenger boy on the Chichester West Sussex Post Office. I graduated to a motor bike age 16 Riding BSA 250cc machines with girder forks and no rear suspension. I rode those bikes over farm fields and rutted lanes in the Sussex countryside. There was also a BSA 125cc 2 stroke bike as a spare which was much favored for rough riding because it was a light weight. When the 250s broke down which was frequent the workshop mechanics repair philosophy was make do and mend. It was remarkable in those days the punishment these bikes took using low grade petrol. The two stroke mix for the 125cc would heavily carbon up the exhaust after a short time and we had a spanner to frequently remove the spark plug to clear it! At times the kick start was useless and the only resort was to engage second gear start running jump on and off it went! When the exhaust had excessive carbon a mechanic would light up a welding torch and burn it out! ah those were the days when these machines were simple and the joy of riding by the seat of one’s pants into the wild blue yonder and we rode those bikes come rain and snow. How is the Riley coming along? Wishing you all the very best.

Thanks for that memory Colin, they must of been happy times riding around ( on sunny days ), it is strange that 2 strokes just dont coke up like they used to, probably down to better quality oil, better metering and i think petrol quality is a lot better, all the tiddlers ive had over recent years have never suffered from whiskering of the spark plug which was a common occurrence back in the day.
@@TweedsGarage It definitely was the Petrol, the Post Office used what was known as Pool petrol. The BSA 250cc four strokes needed a de-coke every 1000 miles and a complete overhaul every 18000 which didn't take long to get to that mileage. The mix for the Bantam was measured from a tube attached to the petrol cap which was hit or miss. Every time when starting there was quite a bit of blue smoke. Pollution wasn't an issue at the time! London earned the nickname "The Smoke!"
Great video, you are a very patient man
So's my wife 😁
Great fun. I LOL'd when the roll of sticky back plastic appeared.
Cheers Stuart, everything was covered in sticky back plastic in the 70's 😆
Great video Allan, coming on a treat mate, congrats on 700 subs mate...
Cheers Allen, couldn't do it without you guys 👍
Nice to see you have real machinery to work on after the trials of having to service modern electronic gadgets, it seem we need more and more special equipment just to keep these modern things running, but with old machines we could carry all the tools we could ever need in a gas mask bag on our back, nice bit of internal screw cutting as well ! Stay safe! Chris B.
It was as bad in the 70's/80's when work on a lot of cars involved manufacturer specific special tools, the French were particularly fond of that practice ( they're alway trying to be one step ahead of the diy mechanics). The Ainjest comes into its own for blind threads Chris 😀
@@TweedsGarage Yes the "special tools" I have just renewed the brake hydraulics on my Defender and had to make up a lot of non standard tools, they love all these things that make life difficult for us, as for all the warning lights, now they are part of the MOT we have to have a diagnostics tool in our armoury as well, the Ainjest did very well there, although you can screwcut coming back out. Stay sane! Chris B.
Love it. Great stuff.
Thanks Francis 👍
Valve grinding paste for your flywheel taper
Got a little tin tucked away for such occasions 👍
Mr tweed I want my wig back. Oh its yours! 🤣
Its my turn to wear it
Great video Mr Tweed. I was expecting to see an old cereal packet and toilet roll tube in use. Perhaps next time?
Ah many a Weetabix has been sacrificed to the gasket gods over the years Mr B.
What happened to fixing the bigend? My '39 98cc was horrid, it had alternate steel and bronze rollers. Replaced with all steel and they have been fine. Nice to see a workshop as cluttered as mine and am rather envious of the machine tools.
the big end was replaced as that also had the alternate steel and bronze job. watch it here......

Re that pin you found in the gearbox - could it have been the locating dowel for the primary drive cover?
It was part of a clutch pushrod, if you watch the next video you'll see i discover there were problems with the clutch and i think a few attempts were tried in its life to make it work.
you didnt show how to change con rod on crank,would love to see this?❤
Ah it was done and caught on film, here you go ua-cam.com/video/2-_DmE37E-U/v-deo.htmlsi=eTdFu9OqSsIRWyl0
would you tell me how to fit avicta electronic ignition,to my PANTHER 1962 villiers 2T engine,have not got a clue about electrics and I am pensioner ignition is only £20 pls@@TweedsGarage
Rolf. Sad times.
Sad times indeed
When you machine up new screws from steel how do you stop them rusting. My 'new' Brooklands with new BSF nuts from the UK are all rusting already.
Those that are on show are machined in stainless ( the advantage of having a big lathe is maching stainless doesn't strike the fear or dread that it did when i had the small bench top lathe) but i think the quality of steel just isnt what it was as i have an tin of new old stock nuts ( shown on an old video ) that where stored in a greenhouse for at least 40 years and only have small amounts of surface rust. If they aren't plated you could chemically blacken them which should help.
@@TweedsGarage Funnily enough that's what I was trying tonight on my bike project. I used some gun blue on some bolts I had to turn down. Only have a tiny bottle.I need to try to find a better source of blackening stuff. For things I don't mind heating I have done the heat and dunk in old oil trick before.
@@asciimation the heat and old oil ( especially old diesel engine oil ) works well and is very satisfying when it goes well.
