[QUOTE=powertwin;657761]@ vishnurags & dr.cr :
Sorry buddies, as bit busy with some construction work at my garage & residence for past 2 weeks, couldn't catch up the posts at this thread, will post details with some pics ( even vishnurags question needs some pics..) Soon, finding difficult to handle these civil work guys rather than these vintage machines[/QUOTE]
"( even vishnurags question needs some pics..)".....
Few more pics to be posted, any way posting some now, discussion tomorrow ...
RE Bullet G2 engine:

G2 Engine front view: ( not the Oil bye pass line dummy)

G2 engine Crank Shaft assy :


B series Engine:

Engine number @ B series Engine:

B series Engine Crank assy :

B series Crank balance weight: Note the Thickness > it is 23.5 mm
Outwardly the 350cc Standard Bullet of today ( i mean till 2010)
differs little from the historic bikes of 1950's....
Major changes being in, types of ignition like mag-dynamo, Magneto,different types of contact breaker ignition ( delco , for easy understanding)
A progression of carburettors from Amal, to villiers, Bing & Mikarb.....
all these changes are almost easily visible to a average RE enthusiast!!!
We'll discuss about the inside story from tomorrow ....with referring the
posted pics here in...
@ dr.cr :
you asked for teaser picture of twin....here you go..

this pic was clicked a month before.....plz wait for more story, but not before completing the bike !!......It is Royal enfield 700 TWIN { POWER}

Welcome back Muthu ji...

Sir you are great really awesome collection. and it really hard to manage all this... i really want to visit you garage... i'll be glad to meet you some day...

Really nice work sir ji...

royal enfield bullet...700 CC...in-line twin.
i have no information about this one...is it a factory produced one or your modified product.

Cheers to you POWERTWIN & the machine in pic. Its one of Meteors or Constellation? This makes one more reason to wonder how you unearth such super rare ones; so much that i infact was hoping your own home-built-twin

We'll wait for the story but assure us that it'll be detailed one with much photos, videos of engine internals, assembly and ride as well. All this may sound too much of a demand but you know its just nothing infront of the respect this machine commands.

It is a factory produced machine.Royal Enfied used to make 700cc motorbikes viz,Meteor and constallation in England and also for the US market.
There was also a 750cc twin (736cc is what i suppose to be exact) named Interceptor during the last years of the Redditch factory.
There was also a smaller 500cc twin named meteor minor.

During the 50s, Royal Enfield used to market their 500cc and 700cc twins under the "Indian" banner.Once the agreement was over, they started exporting under their own name.

It was me who went off the TOPIC.....

[QUOTE=powertwin;660992] Yes it was me who went off the topic, by posting a RE 700 Twin power train picture to please dr.cr. instead of discussing about Enfield India produced or marketed machines since 1955 till now..
Sorry , now the topic has moved to RE twins like Meteor Minor, Super Meteor, Consetallation , Interceptor etc.,
Any way we will come back to G's, G2's, B series, AVL etc.,. sometime later ( hope Visnurag would have ample of infos regarding all these, he is just want to confirm things)
The pic of the RE twin posted by me & currently worked on is a " 700cc Constellation" Engine , as rightly said by Visnurag, it is a "INDIAN" engine, sourced from USA in bits & pieces, now re-built with complete new parts ( few parts like valve guide, Push rod was home made)
Just waiting for a original inlet manifold, even a SR2 magneto was just imported few days before...
almost completed....will get back with more pics of complete bike soon

RE & INDIAN -- not to be confused !!

Well guess all from coffee Table book ( Celebrating 50 years in India),
Just elongating a bit of Visnurags post about Re twins:-
Royal Enfeild in association with Indian motorcycle company, Springfield, USA @ early '50s sold RE 150cc ensign & 700cc Meteor at Us market, that to 700cc Meteor in INDIAN banner,
At 1954 Indian motorcycles signed a contract with RE Redittch , started importing range of Royal Enfeilds, however these models will be slightly modified to suit the American market with INDIAN badge..
from 1955 RE 's machines with Indian badge & their Mods came in...like>>>
* Fire Arrow ( 250 Clipper + Indian mods)
** Woodsman (RE s 500cc scrambler)
*** Tomahawk ( 500 twin with up swept exhausts)
**** TrailBlazer (700 cc meteor+..)
All the above were painted Red !!!
Though the contract was for 5 years, few other RE's was also included (imported to U S) till '1960s
By then Royal Enfeild name has become known @ US , hence royal Enfeilds was sold directly by UK based RE itself...@ 1960, on based on their 1958 consetallation 700c, a new model Interceptor with bigger engine ( 736cc) was exclusively made for U S market only....
More about 700cc twin to follow in my future posts...
cheers!!!

I'm honoured PowerTwin Sire. Well a pic of the bike in here is never OT.
Eager to see the finished looks. Since Constellation had a newer frame & you'll be using an indian made, i hope it'll be dressed like first gen Meteor.

great work

sir i talked to you around a years back regarding restoring my honda cb 350,
according to your advice i followed, ( lose my energy) but i manged to get two carbs by getting a carb from a old honda cb , got a new set of clutch plates , and now i will start with the restoration again. thanks for your support.
kindly post , the details of the restoration of your honda cb125,
once again i would like to thank you for your advice regarding the ht coils which is originally denso nippon perhaps, can you help me regarding the ht coils as i have only seen them on internet

Hi,
Happy that you have started your project in a singing note!!
regarding these " Dual lead HT coils", please don't try with those SO CALLED " Nippon denso coils", b'coz most of them available in the market (i mean abroad) are fakes, they seldom works, even if you source some used O.E stuff, the chance of performance is clueless, better try some new gen substitutes like this>>>>

This guy Mr.Sean Hawker,is a knowledgeable guy & really understand your needs & point outs the stuff you really need, have interacted with him couple of occasions....cool guy
And his parts are also not that expensive, when compared with other Big online commercial guys....yes I mean it.
If possible while mailing him send your Bike ignition set up with some pics & schematic sketches....which will enable him to pick the right part from his product list.
Cheers!! Best of luck

thanks dear,
sorry for late reply

The guy ,who started from the REAR!!!

My son Arjun , a Visual communication student....not much into Automobile'
suddenly few days before came into garage clicked some pics from P&S cam ( mine), arranged the bikes to his wish
Not up to the mark !!
but can understand, he has a point or two to prove!!!
RE machines sexy rear ends!! - hmm! Me waiting for this guy to pick some interest in my collections at least to maintain them in future

PS: Interestingly, I noted a machine is there...which is still not posted in this thread.....guess what?? ( not that recently restored Yellow Bull of my friend Jay!!)
Cheers!!

a Silver Plus hiding behind that yellet (yellow bullet)

btw, you ever thought of replicating the 700 twin's crankcase? i think with your Tooling Er background it wont be too tough

Replicating a 700 s crank case for what??
Any way, it is no big deal to replicate one, even you are not a TR engineer, provided if you are not bothered about the money spent, at present advanced Metallurgy & Machining set up .
Only producing in big quantities is big deal ( financial input wise)
But replicating one or two will also drain your wealth!!! & there are few Technical constraints...which has to be either neutralized or compromised in the final function of the machine.
( need plenty of things to be discussed.regarding this....let's see whether I can post some pics of a WANKEL ENGINE prototype development for a Overseas Customer. a couple of years before....can explain the pros & cons, challenges faced, compromises done etc..)
This guy dr.cr seems to be mind reader or rather mind digger ....slowly digs out the mind... few weeks before about 700 twin.....& now WANKEL engine by me

Also saw these pics saved in the system by him>>>
Not much impressed by his photographic skills...but some thing is better than Nothing!!



& least but not last it is him ( think it was clicked by my garage boy Girish)
