I mentioned a few weeks ago that a couple of modifications had been made to lighten the clutch and also to lengthen the carb manifold in order to achieve a little more bottom end punch. Here are a couple of pictures to show the midifications done by Alan Nicklin.
The Manifold is a couple of inches longer than standard but also moves the carb out to the left to allow the air filter to fit to the side of the frame.
The clutch is now a lot lighter thanks to better routing of the clutch cable which now comes over the engine and the end of the cable runs round the wheel and directly on to the clutch arm. This has allowed us to put all the springs back in the clutch and still achieve the light feel that I was looking for.
This was a prototype, however I understand that Alan is making a batch of these to fit onto the engine mount for all frames using villiers engines.

Great looking bit of kit on the clutch. I am sure the arm on your motor is longer than standard.
I hope Alan is doing some more...if so please pass on my name.
Richard.
