Hi, I PM'd a reply too, but it doesn't really help others, but nor does my reply
Never did cure it, but putting the engine back in the Excalibur it came from, as totally standard made it run perfectly......???
So 350 strada was also rebuilt and back to standardish....375 pistons..

Hi Tom,
Would you have a kick start lever for a 501 Camel/excaliber, just snapped mine.....

Thanks, Brian

Hi Simon,
OK thanks for that, what sort of air filters are you using? Sadly just took the engine out due to knocking big end, but will be fixed soon.

Brian

Ive just fitted big end shells, and wondered too what was wrong. Really jammed on the big end journal, so went up to full torque, and they seated properly in the con rod, and all was perfect.....

Hi all,
Thanks for your replies so far. As Mdina will be open tomorrow i will chat with Andrew about availability
And yes i will be posting the barrells to the UK so it doesn't matter where they go..

Hello to all of you, and a happy new year, Just overhauling my 350 strada (75) engine, and ive found some corrosion damage to the rear cylinder liner. It is currently on 1st oversize (+02) . So i'm after some recommendations for piston sizes (availability) and companies that can do the rebore to the...

OK put in the suggested X8 needles with 262T atomisers and 132 mains . It wouldn't run past 4000 rpm.... Put the standard needles and atomisers back but left the 132's in. it is a bit better, but contant speed running is still very erratic, with it popping and backfiring occasionally. Wonderful unde...

Hi I have the carbs like this Idle 42 Main 128 264BC Choke 50 Needle X18 Ok i will try the main earth lead, that i have not connected. If no change i will get needles and atomisers. Moving the needles hasn't changed a lot. Put some other grey tranducers on, no change. I think i will go up on the mai...

OK, got the 501 pre Kokasan, engine in the 350 frame now. I have a 2 in 1 exhaust with a GPR type silencer ( one chicane type removable baffle) standard 28mm carbs and standard air box and filters. It now has 128 main jets and 42 idle jets, needle fully up. The engine is a 'C' excalibur one. Black p...

So Harry, even if i don't do that clever modification, how does it run? A 2 into 1 and K&Ns (what jets?) does it rev well and no running faults??

Thanks for this information,
Brian

Hi Paul/Julian

No nether engine is Kokosan, the Camel is 86 and the Ex 88. the engine letters are C and R.
Both with Nikasil barrels.

Hi , Just been going back through the search box on this subject but sometimes it goes a little off track. So please can you, who have done the conversion of fitting a 501 to a 75 strada frame, give me some tips and pit-falls to avoid? I would like to make it look as original (ie stock) as possible....

Hello all of you, Please could i pick your brains? I have a 75 350 Strada which goes ok but doesn't always engage 2nd nicely. I have the offer of a 12v Kanguro 350 engine with what looks like the Nikasil lined barrels. BUT the generator and windings are badly damaged, so will the 75 350 engine gener...

Hi Ming,

That looks good, did you pick it up in France?

It did in fact start as an Elbymoto kit ( john Green said that 3 were made), but he did lots of mods, i don't know if it went well in the end!!
