1949-1953 Scout & Warrior

I have 2 questions about these bikes.

#1. Do the new Coker 3.25X18 tires fit on these? I have the 3.25/3.50 on there now but they do not seat in the rims correctly.

#2. I have a 1951 warrior that has a bad sump leak. I understand that there is a fix in the oil pump location for this. Does any one know what it is and what you have to do to correct this?

I would appreciate any info on these. Thanks, Ben

There was a site dedicated to the Vertical Twin it was a wealth of information on modifications to these bikes. Sadly it is gone. Jim, at South West Vintage Cycles is the go to guy for repair and parts for these machines. He is a very nice man. Keep in mind he is also a very busy man. I am sure he will be able to help you.

Thanks Lyle. I will contact him next week and see what he suggests. Ben

Ben,

Pete Sink from NC is another very knowledgable Vertical guy.

Thanks Dave. I remember Pete from seeing his work at Davenport years ago. I will try him also. Ben
