Before you buy
What to check before buying
Check oil circulation, oil level and oil return before and after a test ride. A dry-sump twin that has stood for a long time can drain oil into the crankcase; investigate excessive smoke or a markedly rising crankcase oil level immediately.
Ask for documented servicing of the oil, pump and crankshaft sludge trap, and check the timing-side main bush for proper oil pressure and wear. This is essential on a pre-unit twin of this age.
Test the magneto for a strong, consistent spark when cold and hot. Also inspect the carburettor, tickler and fuel leaks: spilled fuel must not reach the magneto.
Check the primary chain, clutch and four-speed gearbox for clean operation and unwanted noise. Match the running gear to the year: early A7s, plunger frames and swingarm frames differ materially.
Verify frame and engine numbers against a BSA dating source; A7, Star Twin, Flash and Shooting Star are not interchangeable designations.
