Naughty Norton . Teething troubles always take time . But it's looking good . Tin primary covers are a PITA . Bash with a mallet and carry on . Bubble gum on petrol tank leak for now ? Will ruin the flavour no doubt . Needs must though . 👍
I wondered about that as the photos i have of a model 50 in the slimline frame shows a hole in the gap between oil tank and battery box with quite a large ( 1and half inch ) gap to the carb mouth. Also had to question the front engine plates they look like they would fit a larger diam crankcase. Just hope that you can get those engine works done and get some good riding on it. Best of luck .
Nice to see the younger generation getting stuck in and fixing their stuff. Enjoying watching your fight with the Norton.
It is an enjoyable battle. Thank you for watching.
Hope you get all the little Nitty-gritty stuff sorted out on your Beautiful ❤ model 50 Mate.
Cheers 😊
I hope so too
Brilliant job ol' style
Thank you
Beautiful bike... Not bored at all... I don't go for the usual YT wiz-bang nonsense. Keep up the good work. Cheers from Iowa
Thank you from Gainsborough
They always require many test runs to sort out minor problems. She'll be reliable soon enough.
You are right, it sometimes takes a while for all the issues to present them selves.
You could work on Nortons every video and I wouldn't wander off. Thanks for your efforts. Greetings from Chicago.
Thank you
Ahh great video the lathe is a brilliant tool. Used mine last week to make tiny cable stoppers
Everyone should have a lathe.
Those old English motorcycles were leking from the factory! Don’t expect them not to leak, it’s the way they were made!
The usual porosity of an old British bike is not a problem, this thing however is completely incontinent.
I found the video very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
i look forward. i like the bike.
Thank you
I need the grabrail sets😢

Needs must though .

I wonder which flavour is the most resistant to ethanol?
@@ginner43. Liqorice would be best colour match .
Keep going please
Will do
Looks like a mid 1960 engine number,if it is 92xxx
It could well be, the bike is a bit of a bitsa.

As usual British bike electrics were poor, had issues with Triumph speed twin & Tbird in 60’s fitted mags to them joe lucas alternators awful!
Norton did go back to a mag on some models. Possibly the 600ss. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
