NVT stamping Eng. No prefix ? -Norton Villiers Triumph, The merged company was created in 1973.
Try following this .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norton_Villiers_Triumph
Peculiar stampings . I think the 72 cases still had the magneto blanking plate , which was deleted for 73 . So the stamping could be legit .
Likely 750 cases as The BARREL is the Dunstall 810 job. ( Wether Mk 1 or Mk 2 the Dunstal types will have to say , though likely the improved one , that late .
Porting , ?? mumble . the visable ( looks like a radiator hose fitting , complete with internal gook ) Looks like someones been ' port matching ' ,
useing a bit of bog to streamline the mateing faces intakes to head ?? Id loose it and fiddle the intake pon concentric & evaluate if Diameters match .
Rear shock gussets were changed , the inner was let back in a gusset to brace the seat loop for panniers , AROUND that time .
People say all changes were not concurrent , with Nortons , at times .
Not to Worry , Take your time and enjoy it . Get all the Tech Sheets , for set up .
CHECK what the VALVE CLEARANCES are set at NOW. Before you set a spanner on the Adjusters . if you would. Please . possiubly .012 ??
If its all to much ( dunno what to do with it - 650 SS ) , I have a few suggestions . :lol: 8) :!:
