Title: Hello everyone, from WI 1st time Simplex owner
Post by: James44 on May 16, 2023, 08:37:28 PM

I recently purchased a 1952 servi-cycle. It has been sitting for a few years. I am in the process of trying to figure it out and get it started for my first time. I was not given any information on it besides it ran a few years ago. I looked at some of the 1949 manual pages posted on here to gain some information so thank you to whoever posted that. I am super excited to get it running and take it for a rip or a putt however you look at it. Any information on some steps to help get it running would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Welcome James . :)

Nice bike and seems to be complete . Good score .
How is the compression & spark ?
If it's been a few years since it ran , the carb might need cleaning .
