    Can anyone please suggest a good supplier for aerosol cans of scc15 late war British vehicle paint ( I think this is the British version of Olive Drab) And does anyone know what the RAL number would be please? Thanks Gary

    Thank you everyone - this is really interesting! The information I have was supplied by Jan Vandevelde and The M.V.T. I am a bit confused now. Will I have to re -register it with DVLA? thanks, Gary.

    No, couldn’t afford them all.

    Hi Tom, thank you very much for your help. It was issued to the army in March 44 and came out of a barn with 2 other ww2 bikes in similar condition. It has not been restored I don’t think and still had much of the original equipment- pannier racks etc. It was supposedly returned to R/E factory in 1946 for re-furbishment and being sold off. thanks again Gary

    Hi Chris, I take it you mean the nut that attaches the float bowl to the carb? How do I know if I have the correct one or not? Haven't yet had the chance to go for another run yet - so I'll let you know. Thanks Gary.

    Thanks for all your help. I think I may have solved it - I checked everything today and and the plug was very sooty and the points had closed up a bit. I have re-set the points, cleaned and gapped the plug and lowered the needle a notch and it started first kick! Haven't got time to go for a test ride today though.

    My 1944 WD/CO is a real pain to get running. The carb has been re-built and it is all the correct jets/settings. It seems to flood very easily. Once it is going it runs really well - just a real pain to get it going! Thanks Gary.

    Thanks Ron- not very modern rubber I’m afraid!

    What should the tyre pressures be on my Wd/Co for solo and pillion passengers riding please? thanks

    I believe ww2 dispatch riders would probably have worn either a Webley or Smith & Wesson revolver. Would these have been 6" barrels please? Thanks.

    Thanks very much Ron. Gary.

    Are the standard spark plugs for my WD/CO 12mm or 14mm please?

    After a great deal of fettling I managed to get the old one running but it is very temperamental. yes, I am operating the choke correctly thanks.

    I have 2 carbs for my WD/CO, the original is very worn and temperamental so I sourced a much newer replacement. They are both the same type276 ac/1a. I have replaced the jets/ slide/needle/float &needle in the replacement carb. the Bike starts and runs well - until I try to open the choke when it just dies. What are the most likely causes please? Thanks, Gary.
  21. gary0003
    Thanks Ron - that explains the troubles I've had! Do you have one of these? Thanks again, Gary.
  22. gary0003
    What should the correct jet sizes etc be for the Type 276 carb on my Royal Enfield please? Thanks.
  23. gary0003
    Where could I buy a pair of suitable, authentic looking tyres for my wd/co please?
