Sturmey Archer 250cc side valve 1st run

This ’30s engine comes from an ransomes lawn mower which stood still for many years. I decided to build an early racer from it . The frame is a chopped motobecane also the rear wheel, front end and fender peugeot gl55 , the rest selfmade. The engine looked brand new inside and the lucas magneto is complete overhauld. The gearbox is an Albion 3 speed and a Dell’orto vb30 carb The run is short because the oil lines need to be switched.... More soon....
