Re: Who sells oil for rotary Nortons?

It's funny really, I created the forum to help norton rotary riders, We do keep silkolene rotary oil in stock, but cannot compete with the R.O.C delivery by friends system. Startrights is here if you get stuck,but please DO support the rotary owners club oil scheme. The few pounds we make on 4 litre...

Re: Classic No11 on ebay

Air cooled endplates are cast using an alloy that can withstand some pretty serious abuse, certainly a good deal more resilient than the much softer water cooled endplates.A good running air-cooled may not need moly coating. BUT!! All water cooled engines are cast using a different alloy, it's softe...

In order to minimise the hesitation problems when you twist the throttle to set off, especially on Commanders.
