Re: Tank dents
My younger brother, who used to do auto body repair, told me that dry ice will do the trick of pulling out dents, if there is no crease. James Franklin 2411 Pine Summit DR. E Jacksonville, Florida

Re: Vibration
a use Watch the carburetors at an idle and you'll see the need to periodically synchronize them. The rubber boots move quite a bit fore and aft and that seems to knock them out of syncronization. I

Re: NWC: Polish digital clock
Absolutely, those Polish cats don't have a malicious bone in their bodies. Pete all about the work of Nakamura-san and his colleagues, which is fancy design work and programming, not malicious stuff.

Re: NWC: Polish digital clock
Doh, my spys have mislead me again. Are you sure marunagasouko B, 1-5-10 higashi-shinagawa, isn't on the outskirts of Warsaw? Just round behind the McDonalds? Anyway, eagle eyed smartypants aside,

Re: Vibration
I think that carb sync is about the only thing I haven't gone over. It runs so smooth, and wild idle down to 500 rpm smoothly without missing a beat, so I guessed it was pretty close. I may do that

Re: Tank dents
I've also wondered about heating the tank or other similar dimpled/dented sheet metal ....by putting it out in the hot summer sun.....and then placing crushed dry ice in the dent cavity to shrink the

Re: NWC - RETRO jAWAS
Not too keen on the Jawa roadsters...Although I love that '77 ISDT Enduro Sammy Miller has, but as I said, those Velosolex's look pretty interesting! I guess it's a question of academic inerest.

Congratulations! I think you're just too used to modern bikes. It's part of the charm. The W's engine design is like that of the old Triumphs etc., and the counterbalancer is designed only to kick in

Velosolex Was NWC - RETRO jAWAS

Re: Tank seam flanges
Yep, de-seaming Minis was done to the rally cars...but they seam welded themafterwards for extra strength, not simply cut off the seams to look good!
