The AJS Stormer engine, a derivative of the Starmaker is one engine that does not appear to have been used in Greeves specials. A week or so ago I spotted this AJS Stormer trail bike near my house & had a chat with the rider about it. Apparently he bought it already converted as a trail bike from a Stormer scrambler. It struck me as being a neat little job. I asked what mods had been done to engine to make it more suitable for road use. Apparently only a smaller carb & upping the gearing. The engine itself has not been modded & is still on its stock compression. The only problem for road use is lighting, with no lighting coils conventional lighting is not possible, so the owner has fitted LED lights & direction indicators that run from a battery above the front head lamp. He said it will last several days without re charging, but the headlight is not strictly legal & is really only a 'bobby dodger' to get you home if darkness falls. I am sure lighting coils could be fitted to solve the problem, in fact I believe at one time there was a Stormer enduro (no doubt Brian Catt can fill us in).
So has anyone considered using the Stormer engine in a Greeves? parts are still available from Fluff Brown & according to the owner of the Stomer pictured he can supply new complete engines.
