There may be an RE support group somewhere. Not here, though, as we are a bunch of enablers.

Damn.
The thing I loved about traveling in India was that bikes are required to be kept stock. So everywhere we’re old, classic, amazing bikes still on the road, still as they were born, still amazing. The thing I didn’t like about traveling in India was was that bikes are required to be kept stock…

Finally received a part from the UK. Valve Lifter Cable. Not an exact replica of the 1948 version but worked just fine. Could have been a tad longer though. Needed a hook/pick to do some fishing and attach it. Funny thing about the valve lifter, it's not just a compression release, it's also the kill switch. The bike has no ignition switch or key. Kick it and go. Pull the valve lifter to shut it off. When it quits spinning, it quits generating spark and using electricity.
I'm one primary case gasket from firing her!

That's how you'd shut down a hit n' miss engine.

There's a lot of iron in a hit n' miss, the shipping would be horrendous.

IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Though I should have taken all the wrenches and tools off the rack before filming. That's all the rattling and buzzing you hear.
Once the wet sump burned through and I dialed on the carb, it cleaned up real nice. Have a fuel drip at the carb though. Need to chase that. https://imgur.com/MoAELfE

Got the new gasket kit in for the Amal. Leak cured....and I discovered that I didn't have the choke adjusted properly, while I had the carb off. It's a really bizarre system with a big lug that drops thru the slide. All better. Runs awesome now! Still waiting on my front brake cable before a test burn.
Fortunately, Mrs. 2LZ found an old, fat, stunt double for the photo op.
