hello all I have got a few bikes now but these two fuel tanks have got me stuck , any ideas .
yours carl.
Yes Carl,
As there is no oil tank we can assume that the relevant motor has a sump. So we can then assume that the tanks were from the 3 1/2 or 4 hp models being 500 and 600 cc with twin front down tube frames. If you look through your bits at the motors both valves are on top of the cylinders.
The edges of the earlier tanks have a sharp bend from top to sides but the later ones have a radius bend.
Thats the way I see it. regards Alan
hello Alan
thank you so much was just looking at a photo of a 1924 model B and that's one of the tanks and the other I just found on a 1914 model bike , it makes my job a lot easier when I have access to a site like this and such a wealth of knowledge .
yours carl.
