BSA PROJECT.

BSA A65L LIGHTNING. I RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS BIKE ALONG WITH A BSA A10. I AM GOING TO DO THE A10 SO THIS ONE IS FOR SALE. THE BIKE HAS BEEN STORED SINCE 1972. IT WAS TAKEN OFF THE ROAD BY THE OWNER AS HE HAD OVER TIGHTENED THE CARB NUT AND CRACKED THE HEAD AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURES.

HE WAS THEN GOING TO FIX IT HE TOOK THE TANK OFF ROCKER COVER TAPPTS AND PUSH RODS READY TO TAKE THE HEAD OFF. ALSO SPARK PLUGS WERE REMOVED. ALSO THE LOOM WAS REMOVED AS THE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING RIGHT. HE NEVER HAD A REV COUNTER FITTED JUST THE SPEEDO. SINCE TEH BIKE HAS BEEN SAT IN THE GARDEN SHED.

I HAVE LOOSLY PUT THE TAPPETS BACK IN PLACED THE ROCKER COVER ON AND PUT THE TANK ON LOOSLY. ALSO PUT THE PLUGS IN JUST SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT YOUR GETTING.

SADLY THE ENGINE IS SIEZED. I HAVE NOT INSPECTED IT. THE KICK START IS SOLID.
