The Beezer looks great Rob. I’ve been following your page since I also spent my winter working on my ‘69 Starfire. It was a partially complete project that I bought pretty much all in pieces, so having your vids has been really helpful in figuring out how everything goes back together. We’ve had a few early warm days here in central Illinois so I’ve had her out for a few test rides. I’ve also had to fix a few leaks and have been getting the carb dialed in. She’ll usually start after 5 or 6 kicks now. I think you’re going to enjoy your BSA. Thanks again…Len
Len, great to hear that the videos have helped you. I am looking forward to getting the little girl out on the road for some nice test rides here soon. I love the British bikes, they had so much character and charm to them. Keep watching, some more cool bikes coming up.
Nice Beezer. My first bike was a 69 bsa 250 in 1972. One of the worst machines i ever owned. Had no clue what whitwirth was. Many bikes since. Mostly BMW. And now back to BSA M 20 1944. I did learn a few things since. You have a great shop as well.
I have one like that but it's orange 🧡🍊. Paid $250 for her. In my favorite color. Have a Triumph TR25W in original paint. 1959 C-15 ⭐ Star 🔥 fire in original paint but faded.1967 Star fire C-15 with a alloy tank like my BSA441 Victor with 6,000+ original miles and matching #. But so hard to start.l prefer the 250's because they are easier to start.Beautiful, reliable and dependable transportation as l don't have a car 🚗.All of my other 250's l paid $500 for them. Great little bikes. BSA unit singles are nice to ride anywhere and beautiful to look at. Go 2 up plenty of room and cruises at 60+ all day long smooth as silk.

Thanks for the comments. I also recently picked up a 1942 BSA WM20 (military bike). I will probably do some videos on that soon too.
I had a tube of Hylomar Blue that set solid. I much prefer Welseal which stays sticky and doesn't harden at all.
I've been using Hylomar for decades and have never had a problem. I'll keep using what I like.
