valve lifter on 250?

Post by borrowashboy »

i bought a pile of model 14 bits, which arrived this morning. looking over the complete cylinder head/rockerbox i noticed what can only be described as a valve lifter or decompressor. it doesn't look home made and none of my other rockerboxes have this. was there ever such a thing? thanks for any replies.
cheers, bb.

The valve lifter you have mentioned, was only fitted on Lightweight 350 AJS Model 8, and Matchless G5............

Most 250's didn't come with a valve lifter, they didn't really warrant one unless they had 10:1 compression.

thanks peeps :-)
i never even used the one on my m120 panther, so not likely to use one on my 250.
cheers, bb.
ps, yes the panther threw me over the handlebars - twice. but i tamed it eventually.

The G2CS/14CS has a valve lifter as standard- it does have a high compression piston.

I went to the Blackpool V.M.C.C. meeting and there was another B-25 Starfire he had a valve lifter, I don't ! There are a few variations and similaritys between the A.J.S. & Matchless,250's.
