This is my Rickman, which i have owned for a number of years. It needs partial reassembly, new tires, brake seals etc.

This is the finished engine freshly rebuilt, it has omega pistons gas flowed head and big valves.

I will post more pictures as work progresses.

Hi Dunlop4
looks great! Keep us informed by adding pictures, you know we all like that !
Good luck with the rebuild!

Hoorah , another Rickman . What year ? Mine's registered 1980 . Keep the piccies coming, I love 'em.

Very nice to see it as it should be too.
If you need any decals then give me a shout, I have a few complete kits left in stock in either gold or black (both short tank and long tank).
I also offer Rickman gauge face kits.

OK i will bear this in mind as i work my way through this.
On the silver saxon what size tires and tubes did you use?

110 front, 120 rear, Pirelli Demons, bloody awesome tyres.
As for tubes, I think it was a 4.25 rear and a 4.10 for the front.

I had new tyres fitted and bolted the wheels back in the frame.

Next fitting the engine.

The contrast of a black engine against a nickel frame, looks quite nice.

Here is a picture with the petrol tank on.

Loving this

looking good but that front mudguard needs replacing or reducing in size

Update exhaust, generator connected.

Carbs fitted

Love it I am a sucker for rickmans

I installed the ignition system a Martek

I have an orange and red wire from the martek spare.

After connecting the battery there is no power.

Spliced in the yellow and red wire from the martek, still no power.

Success at last, have now got it started but only on two cylinders. The fuse needed connections needed cleaning.

The green wire from the martek is not powering up the coil for 2-3 cylinders, in effect running on 2 cylinders

I fitted a Dyna s ignition

After swapping the wires around it started.
