The right side of the ACE |
This picture is the opening feature of the two-page + + article on the Ace and the caption of
the picture in the magazine states :
Compactness and a remarkably low riding position are outstanding featues of the Ace(I appologise for the size of these pictures, but I trust you do not mind a little sideways scrolling to get the details) |
| The first Aces were equipped with a rather simple
version of "Troxel" saddles. For 1922 this
one had been replaced by the bigger "bucket"
type Mesinger No 3 attached to the same points.
|
| The 1" Schebler H carburettor takes its gas mixing air
through a separated duct starting inside a vented chamber in the front
of the silencer . From this little intake, the fresh air
collects heat as it passes through a tube inside the whole length
of the silencer and is led to the bottom of the Schelber H
in the usual manner. Additional fresh air is drawn in through the
Schebler H by means of its celebrated Automatic Inlet Valve and may be
adjusted even more through the " high speed valve"
if needed.
Special features of the Ace Scheblers are: First, the plain three point mounting flange (same bolt pattern as HDs) but no protruding flange as on the others. Second; the arm of the regulations is long, curved and highrising (parts no 163)and third is the angled intake horn which receives the preheating tube. from the exhaust . The 1920 Ace also had the inefficient intake manifold seen more clearly in the drawing on another page. Later Aces had the options of Schebler De-Luxe carbutators.
