BSA B1 description

Selling my pre-war 1934 BSA Model B1 250cc British motorcycle.

Note: The motorcycle does not currently start.

Title is clear and currently registered/licensed  in California.
The motorcycle is a side-valve 250 cc model with rigid frames and girder front forks, chain-drive, all original motorcycle with the electrical system (1934 was the first year that electrical was introduced for BSAs). The carburetor is the original AMAL model. The gas-tap is original push-style and may need a new cork or soaking/swelling prior to use. The motorcycle is equipped with the original 6V coils and regulators for the spark. Tested for spark - coils work as intended! 
Has a new 6V sealed battery and the electrical system powers the lamp and tail-lamp (see images). It has a three-speed original gear-box with the original hand-shifter - a fun way to ride. Includes the rare original Smith speedometer that used to be an accessory for the bike. 

Currently does not start though engine turns and sparks - carburetor may need cleaning and valve-guides may need adjusting. Currently sold as-is without any warranty implied. Mileage is not accurate.

It's a fun bike to ride around, collect, or as a display. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer to the best of my knowledge. 

Note: Buyer has to arrange their own shipping and handling. I can gladly recommend a few on uship that I have used. I can help store the bike until shipping is sorted out. Shipping and handling is not included in the bid. Thanks.
