My first bike,x gpo1952 .paid £5 for it in 1961 !

Have always loved the Interceptors and wanted to own one. Sounds great, Paul!

British Bikes and Cars were world beaters in style and performance. A combination of militant Unions and poor management led to their demise.

G'day Paul, that is for the cleaning tips, what ever works as long it doesn't damage is fine, they say you should never clean with petrol but sometimes it's the only thing that works, you always do a proper job, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

Thanks Paul.

I got a 77' express also in orange. Where can we find a nice headlight bucket like yours?

Well spotted Paul love you video and the work you do, looking forward to seeing the test ride my best wishes to you from the Philippines ❤️💪👍😉😀😀🛺🏍️🇵🇭🍺

hi Paul hope you get the time to get it done be nice to see it cheers all the best stay safe

Hi, I have a 1953 velocette spring frame and the kick start is rattling when in gear. I have the trust washer and kickstart fully rebuilt. If the layshaft gear has moved keeping it in contact with kick start drive. Do I have to stripped the gearbox to push the layshaft gear forward. Thank-you james

I really like this bike with all that chrome. Nice one Paul.

It must be beer o`clock then!

Had this green residue on my triumph blazer ss . Caused by the ethanol in unleaded fuel.

Thank you

Is this green gunge the result of alcoholic petrol going off and reacting with the metal?

Brilliant how you describe exactly what you are doing, and how to achieve a good result

Good nuggets Paul! So often overlooked!👍

Paul, do these videos keep you going(working hard) in a way? You are an excellent teacher.

I've been using wire wool for years. 0000 is So fine its almost a polish.

Agree with that comment - sounds perfectly reasonable, and what ever you use to clean the gunk off the needle it would have to be mildly abrasive, so fine wire wool, fine 3M scrubber, whatever you use, with care, can only be better than that gunk where it is. Is it there because the bike has been stored, or is it something else? Bikes are meant to be ridden, it keeps them ‘fit’! Les

Sounds quite reasonable to me, so long as you don't go nuts with it. I would even consider a Brillo pad & let the solvent do its bit.

What happened to this alternator full of a white glue on the top of the stator?

Aahh the joys of a single carb😂

the block of wood holding the tensioner is a great idea

Always and interesting video from your workshop. My '61 350 Bullet had superb alluminium castings on hubs, forks engine and gearbox etc. and I used to spend hours with the Auto Solvo and even Brasso giving them a good polish. I have never seen such quality since then. So sorry I had to pass it on when I had nowhere to park it. 669YYO

Sounds lovely that Paul ,pulling like a train 👍👏

The mighty Interceptor had a dynamically balanced crankshaft which reduced vibration. Note the neutral finder lever on the gearbox.

always fancied one of them, beautiful machine

Nice machine and nice piece of work adjusting the carbs. Would you consider it worth re-checking the throttle slides to ensure that they both still lift at the same point on the twist grip?

G'day Paul, the 750cc Royal Enfield is one of the motorcycles that have been produced in England and it could have given the Jap bike a run for their money if allowed to develop, that's a fine example and your doing it justice by checking it over, cheers mate, Neil 🤠.

Looking to be a good machine. Is that a standard S2 clutch?

A touch of class.

a proper motorcycle from a bygone age thank you very much Paul .that sound is awesome a superb classic bike .

Paul, I note the gearbox on the interceptor looks remarkably similar to the one used on 500 and 350 Bullet. Are they the same, or a beefed up version with a similar appearance? Perhaps you might consider a short video explaining the difference? Thanks.

Well said but unfortunately these idiot probably ain't going to be hearing this

Lovely rasp from the exhausts once dialed in.

Well done Paul you have the ear of a piano tuner Alan Northern Ireland. 😮

If you are synchronising throttles for most (and smoothest) acceleration at 1/2 throttle and above, then yes do it without the throttle stops. But if you are synchronising for most eager and smooth pick up - it needs to be synchronised from tick-over. You pays yer money and you takes yer choice!

Thanks Paul.

Stunning bike and cool accent. Would a big like this need much more mechanical tlc compared to a Theuxton for example?

Good job done. Shame you were not asked to do the same for that 750cc A65. It would have made a nice comparison.

A bit of fettling and its much better,have a few beers Paul and a good weekend 👍

hi Paul that was good I could tell when you dialed it in as the rear mudguard stoped bouncing up and down sounds great. I live very close to the where they were made back in the day. I know both Richard Stevens and Chris Ludgate, both rode for the works Richard ride a mk 2 and chris rode a mk 1. Great times where did all the years go. I enjoy your chanel very much nice to see you keep the old timers going.

You are a Master Fettler Paul. Reckon you've earned a beer or two..

Sounds happy, i always liked the look of those bikes, far better than the modern ones imho

Nice, maybe one tappet ticking, but that's next week.

Such a "masculine" looking bike. It dominates any gathering of classic bikes.

I love these big old bruisers!!! So underrated especially these Mk2's Mind I like single carbs for their simplicity in tuning too! A friend even fitted the SU carb from a small Austin car to his Norton 650 twin and it ran very well!!!

So much prettier than the one I was tinkering with last month. B.Z!

Great bike!

That engine sounds very tidy!👍
