Hello all from a cold white Canada, I am currently completing the restoration of a 1939 NH and a 1951 KH as part of an estate of a friend recently passed away. I have worked on Brit iron for over 40 years, but limited experience with Ariels, so any assistance appreciated.
* Gearbox oil, the manual states grease, seems a little archaic, is this still the best option? I was thinking a thick oil?
* Primary cases, recommended lubrication for the chain?
* Speedometers are missing from both bikes, tank mounted, presumably chronometrics? if so which type?
* Ignition timing setting for the KH.
* Amal float chamber on the NH is sloped according to the carb angle, is this correct or should it be a specific float chamber angled so it is actually upright? ( if that makes any sense)
Thanks
Brian
