What do you mean adjust?
Do you need to reset it?
or to set it up from the beginning?
I presume its magneto?

Hi Olle ,

You state your bike is a 1932 engine model, on your profile you have a question mark against the year 1932.

Like ITMA states above, you need to provide more information. If your English written skills need support, then write in Swedish. Then if the Swedish members are looking in on the Club site they will translate into English for you. Failing that , I"m sure my wife will translate into English. My Swedish is conversational , level B, so not a lot I can do in translation.

Post War bikes had the year first, then the Model number, then the engine number. I really don"t know about "Pre war". But if it was the case before World War 2, then I would expect your engine number, 35/8 2137, might suggest the engine is 1935 vintage.

Whilst I am writing I might as well let you know that
www.motorbooks.co.uk seem to have a lot of Workshop Manuals .. so you may want to look at this site.Search for Workshop Manuals.

Itma, above is the Expert among experts , so you will have the best of advice alongside others who will no doubt help you.
Best wishes, Chris.
