1942 BSA WM20 WWII Motorcycle - Restore and Ride!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
I restored this 1942 BSA WM20 back in 2006 and recorded only a few videos and photos at that time. (Flathead Terry's Channel wasn't started then!). I forgot I even had these on some old mini VHS tapes I was going thru so most of the graphics are in the old 4:3 format but what the heck!

Thanks Chris. A fun little bike with a gear shift pattern completely opposite of American bikes and on the right side!
That was great, Terry, thanks for posting it up. Mart.

You bet Mart!! Fun stuff!
Great job Terry
Little tip if you leave a BSA M20 for a while. oil seeps into the crankcase if left so undo the little screw or nut in the crank case and drain the oil you can put it straight back in the oil reservoir.

Hi Terry, my friend just rode his 1938 BSA to my house. After 30 mins yapping he tried to re start it to go home. It took him about 15 minutes of kickstarting it to get it going. In a nutshell what could be somethings that cause that. Cheers NZ.

Hey John, its a problem with the Magneto. Mine had the same problem when it got hot, it had a very weak or no spark at all. A rebuilt magneto will provide happier riding!

Take a look at the magneto,specifically the condensor...or it coud be a microscopic break in the windings if it only likes to start from cold.
that is a Kool Bike!

Unfortunately, I did not take many videos during the restoration process of this one. I wish I did!

Hey CoffeeStain! I don’t have specific paint codes, but instead I ordered Flat Olive Drab paint (Spray Cans) from a military paint company here in the States. The Olive Drab color shades vary from each paint manufacturer during the War and today so this was the best option after extensive research online. Best of luck with your WM20! They a fun bikes.
Bit old video now Terry, but what size wheels are they ?
