Sport Scout SU conversion

I decided ages ago I wanted to use an SU carb on the Sport Scout Stroker. I got an old carb from Chris Ireland and rebuilt it with new parts and fitted a long bellmouth to it, problem cropped up when I fitted the footboards and clutch pedal I found that the bellmouth hit my knee and would make clutch operation a job for a contortionist!
Just found an aesthetic solution with this SU embossed pancake filter from Burlen Fuel Systems

1933 Chief motor arrives at the Speedshop

The '33 Chief motor arrived on wednesday, all crated up in a solid plywood box, opened up the box and pulled out the motor and laid it on a foam cushion to check it over. All looked fine til I turned it over and found that the rear cylinder has broken at the flange due to vibration during transit, this may have been caused by a hairline crack that seems to have been there for some time (judging by the rust on the faces of the break) . This will be welded back together then I will have both cylinders sleeved and bored to suit std pistons.

Junior Scout Stroker - the leftovers build!

Quite a lot of Scout bits lying around the shed, mainly 741 engine parts, a pair of tanks from Chris Ireland's old Bela a Junior Scout frame from my mate Myles' stash and I have the makings of another Scout. Plan is to use a 4 speed gearbox from a rigid Triumph T100 mated to the Scout motor using a Triplex primary chain driving a T140 clutch basket from a modified Indian front pulley using a T140 crankshaft sprocket



The pitch of the Indian primary train is different from the Triumph one






Some other new arrivals to help the build along, a set of HD WLA flywheels and rods will stroke the motor to 45"


Newly rebuilt oil pump, timing cover, cams and followers


741 transmission internals
