Remember, it is a two stroke, it doesn’t have the same low rev. pull like the four stroke. And what fooled me (among many things) was that there are two “eksplotions” every rev, it sounds as it has twice as many revolutions as a fourstroke, which meant that I change gear much too early ( I was accustomed to a BSA A10)

As far as I am aware, 1949, possibly 1950, was the last version of the “Book of the Scott” to be published. This will cover the coil ignition as used on the Brum and also the dynamo as used on the early Brums such as my ’57 version, but not the alternator type. It also gives info on the Dowty forks but only the airdraulic type and not the spring version. The engine, gearbox and clutch are identical through much of the pre-war and post-war range, so any post 1936 Book of the Scott will help. Generally though, Technicalities provides far more useful information.
By the way, check that the pistons are in the right way round. I came across a new Scott owner a couple of years ago at a show, who complained that the bike was gutless, it turned out that the engine had been assembled by the previous owner with the pistons reversed.
