Matchless 1939-1955 Workshop Service Manual For Repair
DESCRIPTION:
FOREWORD TOTHE ORIGINAL BOOK This book is a practical guide carefully compiled to enable both the new owner and the expert to carry out routine maintenance, complete overhauls, and to service those Matchless single-cylinder machines built between 1939 and 1955. It will also be of assistance to dealers’ service staff as the comprehensive information provided in the text is culled from extensive experience in servicing these machines. To obtain maximum efficiency, reliability, and long life from component parts, regular and systematic maintenance is essential.
Performance, too, is likely to be improved if careful attention is given to the instructions outlined in these chapters. The aim throughout has been to guide the reader step by step through the sequence of dismantling and reassembly, paying particular attention to the elimination of defects, and so avoiding those trial and error methods which can prove so frustrating and, in the end, so expensive. Chapters are devoted to ex-WD machines, giving conversions that will improve performance; and to trials and scrambles machines. Technical data and illustrations of special tools recommended and used by the manufacturers are included in the text. Finally, the Publishers wish to make grateful acknowledgment to Associated Motor Cycles Ltd. for permission to reproduce a number of their copyright drawings in the text
