S6 Engine build
« on: 19 Feb 2024 at 20:02 »
Hi, I have several S6 engines in varying states of completeness. I would like to try and build one engine, but not sure I have all the parts necessary. Does anyone have a detailed exploded diagram or parts list that I could cross reference.

Thanks

There is a illustrated parts list Douglas published for the S5/S6/T6 models. Reprints are available through the London Douglas Motor Cycle Club. The only exploded view I recall ever seeing is this illustration:

Nice illustration that shows clearly the extra gear between the top cam (presumably the inlet) and the magneto, explaining why these late sv engines use anti-clockwise magnetos.
