Hi – I am also on “the MB List” and saw some stuff you commented on a few weeks ago. That led me to reconsider refininshn some MB wood.
Your links to he polyurethans and stain colors mo longer go to a specific product, but rather just to Minwax. So I am contacting you seeking some further detail.
Thanks,
Tom Scott

hi beautiful car,i have a 72,n love it.make sure to put in denatured alcohol in the reservoir,by the compressor,and to bleed the schreader valve,by the fender tank,do you have the rubber blocks?polish will make the wood beautiful,but will swell the grain,better to wax.try to keep the air valve setting in the middle.and try to start it at least once a week.it has a beautiful ride,n for character,cant be beat.good luck,n take care.
Hi,
I found your page about the 1962 ladies bike. I have one very similar to yours except it’s a Triumph. I’ve attached a link to a photo of one that is pretty much identical to the one I have. The bike I have, like yours, has the original Bates Dunlop tires and tubes. Would you be able to give me an estimate of what my bike is worth?
Thank you!

Hello Jamie
I am working on a 66 250 s and needed to change out one of the Zenith carbs..so i picked up one from another 250S at the junkyard and put it on…checked the serial numbers – which were around the same prod. date..
it starts fine and idles fine but when you step on the gas/put it in drive it shuts off..am wondering if i need to re-build this with the kit – or is it better to change these to the webers..not sure if i just need the kit or a whole new weber carb..which seem to be expensive ..and i guess i paid too much for removing those carbs off of a junk yard – $200/pices…any suggestions..
Any carb with an unknown history probably needs a rebuild, so this is a good place to start. As long as they’re not warped due to excessive heat, you should be able to rebuild them and get everything running correctly. Don’t overall ignition system issues, and well as a valve adjustment. All these things are important to getting the carbs setup correctly. Good luck!
