Book of Maintenance and Repair of Lucas Electric Systems for 1950's-1970's British Motorcycles

Presenting a previously unpublished manual sourced from the Floyd Clymer archives, this compilation stands as a comprehensive guide to Lucas electric components for motorcycles. Drawing from original factory publications, it covers the working principles, maintenance, repair, troubleshooting, and testing of Lucas equipment utilized by major British motorcycle manufacturers including A.J.S., B.S.A., Matchless, Norton, Royal Enfield, and Triumph.

Included in the manual are maintenance instructions for "Electric Lighting and Ignition Equipment" and "Alternating Current Equipment," applicable to machines from the 1950s through the 1960s, as well as the "Motor Cycle Service Manual" for 1970s and later models. Encompassing the period from the early 1950s to the late 1970s, the compilation addresses component maintenance, repair, and testing for 6-volt and 12-volt, singles, twins, and triple-cylinder machines.

Furthermore, two catalogs on "Electric and Suspension Parts" for Lucas-equipped motorcycles from 1960 to 1977 are included. Serving as a valuable parts interchange reference, these catalogs provide Lucas part numbers by motorcycle manufacturer and model. With detailed text, diagrams, and wiring diagrams, this compilation is an invaluable resource for owners and restorers of Lucas-equipped motorcycles.
