G'day everyone. 1938 Norton ES2. First of all thanks to the guy's that responded to my Electrickery post. Very helpful. I have another problem that needs resolving before I worry about that matter at the moment. I can not get 1st gear and 4th gear with the same adjustment on adjuster rod. If I make the rod short enough so it will pull the selector on bottom of box up far enough to go into 1st without jumping out it will not then go far enough down to get 4th into gear. If I extend it just enough to get 4th into gear then I can't get 1st. All other nuts are tight. Here is a couple of photo's. One of the bike and a couple of the adjusting rod and gear selector box setup. If there is other names for these bits please let me know. Ignore big long pin in bottom of adjuster rod as it was only there while I'm playing around with it. Easier to pull in and out. So I have exhausted the possibilities I know of with my limited knowledge. Any suggestions ? There seems to be a fair amount of slop within gear selector box, eg gearstick/shaft moves around a fair bit. If I disconnect rod, gear selector on bottom of box works normally when moved by hand and rolling bike slowly forward, can get all gears. Thanks
