Another problem that has come to light (pun?) is the ability to blow bulbs! I was warned that by the vendor, though. I decided to check it out and connected a test lead up to the wires seen in this picture - the result? You've guessed it! My test light bulb blew - and that was only at tickover! There could be a chance that - at some time - a later flywheel has been added, with more magnets, and this will produce the effect I seem to have here. Any other ideas, anyone? Or is there a gremlin here? A good name that - the little Green Gremlin!
I've had a couple of rides on my latest Bantam, a 1951 D1, but the road-holding was what I can only describe as rather vague! It seemed to want to go anywhere, rather than where the handlebars were directing it. Upon taking a closer look the bars were loose, as were the steering head bearings, so, for my safety's sake I called it a day and decided to rectify the problems immediately.

Boy AlbieI've been the proud owner of a 1965 BSA Bantam D7 since 1991, affectionately known as Little Willie (Wilhelmina) and love to take her out for a ride so that others can see her. Archives
