I felt under the triple tree as you suggested, and there is a plate under there. The wheels are 2", so as you said "It appears that it has been cobbled together"--I'd also like to tell you that I have a 1947 Famous James ML125, and a 1967 BSA Starfire

Bike was not running when I bought it, even though the engine was new. Had some old gas in it, so I figured the carb needed cleaning. Surprise--it was actually clean. Bottom needle jet was only open about 1/8th of a turn and top jet about 1 turn. Not sure what they are supposed to be set on, but I opened the bottom to 1 1/2 turns and the top 2 1/2. Got it running, but it is way too rich. Somebody help me out.

I am new to the group, and I have a 1948 that I found way down in south Louisiana. If I can figure out how to post a pic, I'll post it. The bike had been completely restored, when I bought it. I am nearing 76 years old, and rode one that belonged to a friend, when I was about 12. Glad to be a member of the group.
