750 SF and modern unleaded petrol

Hi Clem, yes this is one of the bikes imported by John Paget. I will join ILOC to take advantage of the dating certificate. I?d be interested in your thoughts, but would rather not discuss it all on a pubic forum if that?s ok.

Pubic forums are ok as long as you keep your hands on the table.

Hi Dai, where in South Wales are you? I live not far from Llanelli.

Hi Tyrone, I?m near Llantrisant. Not a million miles from you. To be honest, I don?t think I?ve ever seen a Laverda out on the roads around here so it?s good to know there are others about.

Clems right, many were bought for a museum,but with Cors going there it meant duplication.My drummer came that way.The two on Ebay in Bridgwater are overpriced and need a lot of tlc.

Dai P: Breganzie twins tend to like a rich main jet for the upper revs and do not over advance the timing. If you hear the pistons LICK DEATH when loading the engine either back off on the timing or increase the main jet # or do both. Lots depends on the carb and exhaust you have - Saves holing or melting pistons.

For instance; when I went for a 2 into 1 header to save weight, I had to change my main jets from the stock #27's to #32's. I also advanced my timing somewhat and approach close to 8000 rpm using open mouth Dellorto 30A's.

Always keep an ear open for that dreaded piston DEATH LICK or KNOCK. That's how you tune a Breganzie Twin.

Hurray!  Good call!
