I just bought a 1958 Simplex.  It has not been cranked in about 3 years.  I haven't had time to work on it yet but already know that the throttle cable is damaged so I will be looking for a replacement.

Does anyone know if there is a manual available for these machines

Thanks

Hello,

I had a Simplex Automatic frame that I bought from a junk yard for $8.00 when I was about 17 years old.  I put a Tecumseh engine on it and had way too much fun riding it on the country roads in my neighborhood.  It was push to start direct drive and drag your feet to stop.  After a while I dismantled it and probably sold it back for scrap to the same junk yard.  I have many fond memories of this time in my life and have thought about getting another one on several occasions.  I am currently looking at a bike and will potentially have it within a week.

I'm sure that I will have questions for some of you guys with more knowledge of these fine examples of American history.

Thanks,
David
