Hello all,

Fist time post here, I am currently mechanically restoring a 1927 EW350 for a customer of mine and we are missing all the drive parts, gears and clutch between the magneto and the generator including the gear on the generator. I do have the generator and generator specific front timing cover.

Like most of these projects the bike was stripped apart in the last 4 or 5 decades and things have gone wondering!

Any help in finding the missing parts is greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Frank @ Llama Engineering NZ

The Manual for a T6 etc doesn't help ?

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/185441168860

Measurements are unlikely, unless on a blueprint.
Does anyone hold such things, that far back ?
Can recall when BSA closed, it was said that 20 tons of documents went into a skip !

Measuring YOUR engine and making to suit should be adequate ?
What you have don't look too bad ??
You wouldn't be the 1st person to hunt down a spare engine to obtain such things ...

That finned alloy sump is a true work of casting genius.  !

Would the timing gears from a 1918 2 3/4 fit?

Hi Does anyone have a diagram or drawing showing the engine gear hole spacing for a T6? Is there a workshop manual or any other book that can help rebuild a Douglas T6? The club doesn't have one.
I making all new timing gears for my engine and be good to have any helpful diagram

It doesn't take much searching to find a Maintenance Manual.
It lists quite a number of places that require a regular drop of OIL.

Didn't examine it closely about greasing requirements.
I find those silly little 1940s and 1950s 'grease nipples' inadequate.
A later type nipple with ball and spring are way more effective, if not concours.

Hopethishelps.  Tell us how it goes. ?

Nope.
I find dismantling and re-greasing about the only sure fire remedy.
The Manuals spell this out, if you read closely between the lines.
And, conveniently, I've met very few british motorcycle items that are sealed for life.

But I've not met a MkV personally, so YMMV. ?
Cheers.
