I'm gunna ask a silly question I'm sure...
How come you have gone to the trouble off shipping it across from America? Is it a special one? Does look.cool!
Yer I let him know (communication is through his son) I will let him know I got the paper work and again let him know it's running, with lovely new tyres ready for show on Saturday.
May look into road registering mine.... being the 853 it narrows Down to being made 70/71 and engine number is 71. How would I go about getting a v5? Can't I get a bolens headed letter? Or just apply for a Q plate?
From the many posts you can tell I quite love it... also was chufed it started on the second pull but my god I must get the starter bolted on and wired up
Little bit smokey at times, but I can investigate that.
Yes he loves it and it doesn't bother him in the slightest.
Looking forward to sorting the wheels Wednesday and then showing Saturday. Decided on the fordingbridge summer festival. A bit more relaxed with the new baby and only 5 mins away.
Owner contacted me today... he has found some paper work for the bolens and is sending it down. I think it's just a manual as he said he had a friend in America who sent him one across but who know what goodies may turn up
Managed to sort the gear crunching.... the foot pedal wasn't engaging quite enough.
The transmission whine... will that kind off is what it is.. anyone to stop it?
Silly question I expect.... where is the clutch? And easiest way to check
Can't get the youtube videos on here..
But if you go on YouTube and search
bangerboi2b (account I made a good few years ago ) then I have uploaded a couple onto there.
The bolens looks quite smokey in one video but that appears to have cleared itself up
Let me know what you think
Brilliant! Cheers for the identification.
Yes all set up and working, appears to be working well.
Engine aswell seems to be going well after a few hick ups earlier.
I will be taking the carb off for a good clean out soon.
Only thing left to do asap is the wheels but they should be sorted by next weekend.
All in all very happy with how she is going... will try and sort the video
Will look into the bolens forumn...
And will get a photo off it running... as soon as it is! Just working at getting the front off to get to the points
