are you sure it's the correct carburettor? My 1939 NZ350 has an Amal-Fischer M76-426 fitted.

Hi Andy, sadly not fixed the kickstarter yet, my jeep has taken priority of late (driving it at the Goodwood Revival tomorrow). However, I fully intend to take my bike to the Brooklands Military Vehicles Day on 17th November. Also, my mate is building a sidecar for his Matchless G3 and we are talkin...

My primary chain has 20mm play, the manual states replace the chain if more than 15 mm of play. Can anyone recommend a good source of supply for new chain?
Thanks Chris

Thanks for the reminder about the LH thread

I hope to find time to remove the clutch this week and will indeed check the starter sprocket.

all best, Chris

Hi Frank, thank you for your valuable advice again! I've had a look at the 'Russian' segment on eBay, judging by the photos it is just a rough cast copy, so I will try to rebuild my original segment as you suggest. By the way, is the IZH 350 the Soviet DKW copy after they took the factory to Russia ...

Does anyone have a kickstarter segment part number 122228-0?
I have tried the usual suppliers but no luck.
Thanks Chris

My kick starter has been 'jumping' and 'jamming', so recently I have to jump start the bike, not easy with a sidecar! Took the casing off today and notice the first two teeth on the segment are broken. Can the segment be reversed, or will I have to replace the whole thing? thanks, Chris broken teeth...

Simard sidecars

Hi all, my apologies for lack of contact, playing with my jeep in 2017! But I have been researching my 1939 350NZ and discovered the sidecar is a 1938 Simard Standard 13. Simard were a French manufacturer based in Lyon. So I wonder who joined a 1939 German motorcycle with a 1938 French sidecar? My r...

Happy New Year to all! Regret did very little to my DKW in 2017 as I was using my jeep! 2018 will be the year of the bike! Two items of interest: I have discovered after much research the sidecar on my 1939 350NZ is a 1938 Simard, manufactured in Lyon, France. I wonder how a German motorcycle got a ...

Hi all,
Merry Christmas!
I'm taking my Jeep to Normandy next year from 1st to 8th June but will be pleased to meet up with other DKW owners if you're planning a trip.

all best,

Chris (1939 350NZ & Sidecar).

Hi chaps, looking for decals or whatever is used for 350NZ. front mudguard tyre pressure / front mudguard load numbers / DKW logo for side of petrol tank / single 350NZ fuel tank sign with mixture details (not the 3 piece 350-1 sign) / rear mudguard tyre pressure for solo and pillion. A good source ...

Hi all,

If it helps this is the fuel tap on my 1939 350NZ. I believe it's original - and it's leaking again! (problem is, so does my Amal carb, so unless I disconnect the fuel line my garage stinks to high heaven of petrol in the morning!)

cheers,

Chris

Hi all,

I was looking at the French guys' website yesterday and there are some photos of their Normandy meeting with some nice bikes, also lots of good DKW wartime photos.

Thanks guys,

I've also been recommended www.oldtimerteile-s.de for the brackets, but i will use Oldtimer Garage for the leather bags. I am told by Frank that metal boxes did not appear until '41/42.

cheers,

Chris
