That's not great, do I need to make a barrel for it.

Scratch that...

Sounds like the thermosyphon wasn't doing it's part.

Oil filter's on the front so it's probably a Suzuki of some variety. Can't ID the frame though.

Hush with that Suzuki talk, Its a CB350F engine, The frame is a home brewed one it was brought with a starmaker engine and some quite substantial engine plates.
I can't remember for sure ,but i think it has chain adjusters on the swingarm pivot.
Its very light gauge tubing and it has a chain oiler built in to the swingarm. It looks very Rickman like in construction and if i recall correctly is bronze welded. I have no idea what it was built for but it has a substantial gearbox cut out in the bottom rails.
Behind it is a C15 a few B25 and a Villiers 2t twin (just out of view). In front of it is a massive pile of junk that I didn't even attempt to try and get around or over.

Don't give him a religious rank - it's DeVcon dave...

Is there a contest here i don't know about to see who can get the most junk into the background ? i think the lawn tractor is a first...Is that a braced and altered MB frame ?

Husa, the big cutaway for the gearbox on that frame IMO means it was built for the Villiers - you have to do that as they stick down an inconvenient amount.
If it looks Rickman and has a chain oiler in the arm, either Bruce Roberts or Alister Sabiston could be the builders. Both did that sort of thing for Villiers.
Alister even brought a batch of Starmakers in. If it is an Elsab, it's highly collectible.

Yeah the old man is highly attached to collecting stuff either way.
I am not totally sure if the cutaway is part of the original structure or a later add in.
I have seen an Elsab before at those old meets they used to have at old Macs place at Springfeild.
No one could beat the old man for the most stuff in a shed.
