Hey Robert -
Sounds like a nice project, mate of mine used to have an MSS. I remember the quirky clutch activating mechanism - pushrod pushed a plate as per our Ducs, except the pushrod pushed the edge, not the centre, of the plate, meaning it sort of peeled off and fast changes were not on the cards. The other interesting mechanical characteristic was the valve overlap, and the catastrophic consequences to the top end if you over-revved her!
Cheers - Nick

Ok Gents, who are the Velocette experts round her. My cousin has offered me his Velocette project, which I plan to get and no it ain't fer sale.
"a project bike that I've never finished…& now cannot complete. It's a Velocette Venom 500cc single (in Thruxton state of tune, 40 HP at 6000 rpm) placed in a very early (1953-54) Norton "Featherbed" frame. "
now to get it shipped from Cali, get in running and ride it like it ought to be ridden.
