The Jensen Owners' Club

My vote is for NGK. Probably more expensive but "fit & forget" as mentioned... I've fitted them to every vehicle I've owned since I discovered them in mid 70's sometime. Never once had an issue, that includes endurance race bikes, where we ran whole seasons on them! (they were race var...

Nigel, I second the "keep us posted" bit, as I am considering much the same rebuild route...

Hi, It's only a personal opinion but I wouldn't put radweld or anything like it in anything , other than to get me somewhere I really had to be, because my own experience in various vehicles is that it'll likely bugger up something else...like the heater...or the heater valve...or those little passa...

Don't want to rain on any parades but out here in the UAE I'm still seeing the old one! I wiped my caches, fyi for those who know what I mean - all of them, files & all. No difference.. maybe it is forbidden as a heathen influence.... (actually I suspect there can be some intermediate server). U...

Hi,

Seen in a trendy italian clothes shop in Dubai, 100 yards from where I live!



Apologies for the crappy phone picture....

Just to add another nugget(??); The facet "cube" type pumps mentioned earlier also don't have much "suck", even less than is typical for a "blow" type pump. They are shuttle-style pumps, unlike most of the others, and they need to be at level with the bottom of the tank...

Hi,

I'll be happy enough to explain anything that I can... honestly guv gawd blimey.

I have nailed together the odd(!) site, not necessarily well but they work... just mail me if needed.

Hmmm, I wrote a longwinded reply for this but it vanished into the Ether, so here's a somewhat shorter one; Sorry, but I would suspect u have part-siezed it, e.g. 1 piston, a high-comp engine like these will do that quite quickly if it overheats (sounds like it did...) and it's quite likely you woul...

Hi, Just to update the thread; Yup, 112/2316 certainly is mine, now in serious bits but hopefully will end up back together...eventually... I try to update the website... 2316 is/was horribly rusty but in fact just about complete and not much "abused", only 1 light layer of green paint ove...

Just for more thread Hijacking;

-If u guys keep on about the Crapis I'll weigh in with my Scimitars... wanna race??

First one backwards through the hedge or straight on at a 90 deg corner wins. -I know which one will do that first....

============================

Apology from me: Errr sorry I couldn't make it although I tried, things called "daughters" and "lifts" got in the way, big shame since it's only about 15-20 miles away! Still, it wouldn't have been in a Jensen anyway, Aston or my bike were the likely candidates so I'd have got a ...

Anyone who reconditions heads can install bronze guides, it's a common thing to do to older iron heads (on anything, not just Jensens) and it's "better than new" normally. It's not particularly expensive...
