Old describes both me and my wee C15. If I don't keep on top of it kicking can become extreme. Thanks for commenting.

This did seem to work quite well. Thanks Gordon.

Tim thank you for your nice remarks. Good yo be out on it again.

Alan it is good to be back on it. I am going further and further with it. I hope to make a proper trip soon. I still haven't regained my faith in it!

William you always give such nice positive remarks. Hope you get on well with timing the old AJS.

Michael its in your blood! There is nothing quite like being out on any motor-bike. But an old one is special. Enjoy your GPZs.

Thanks for the comment Frank. It's good to be out on the wee bike again.

I agree with you Adrian you stand some chance of sorting it out with points. It was kind of depressing when it would not run.

Thanks for that Peter. I agree with you. It's back to being more period!

Clare thanks again. I would hardly say that! I certainly can't whisper to get it to retain it's oil!

@@hughferrier5837 I laughed at that. I owned a B33 that was named "Tiddles".

It is running better in some ways but I think there may be more vibration (if that were possible) at lower revs. It's going and it's good to be out on it again.

Hello Tony and thank you for taking the time to comment. Great to be back riding the C15. I agree it is arcing too much across the points. I put that comment on the film at 4.59. It will do for this year and I will fit new points and condenser next year! There are always jobs to do on a c15!

That's worth knowing! Thanks Ricky.

John thank you for that. The SS80 is a really pretty bike. I probably prefer the looks to the Star but I do like being out on a machine that kids on its from '59. Probably for BSA 'hot' is the wrong word, maybe 'warmer'.

Hello John as usual you are kind. Thanks.

@@hughferrier5837 I put little rubber tube round the spring eyelets...to tighten them up :)

David, David, David. Can you think how much oil it would leak if I followed your advice!

@@hughferrier5837 I thought you had sorted the oil leaks Hugh? 👍

Don't make me cry! They sort for a wee while and then you go out and the wee basin under the bike has oil in it. That is just stationary. I am still losing gearbox oil when I go for a run. Maybe I should put my camera under the bike!

@@hughferrier5837 the joy ov British bikes I guess, weird how the little cub has less advance than the bsa?

​It is strange as the C15 engine was based on the Tiger Cub engine. Amongst the rust I can make out 6°.

Hello Leonard. Some previous owner had fitted the Boyer ignition to it. That's why I had to buy another distributor as I didn't have the mechanism. I feel I have made it more period with going back to points, fitting incandescent bulbs instead of LEDs and going back from the Concentric it came to me with to a Monobloc! Good to be driving it again.

I agree Stuart. You have a fighting chance to make it home if things go wrong!

@@iangraham4604 Ian I am not aware of fitting that, but I have no leak from the distributor. I am now down to a very slight leak at the front sprocket so small it is hardly noticeable. I also have a leak from the top end on the pushrod side but it is not from the pushrod tube. Compared to a year ago it's miraculous! There is also an internal gearbox leak. It is now more drivable. Thanks for offering sensible advice from your own experience.
