Another camshaft question.

Postby Ian B » Sun Oct 26, 2014 3:17 pm

I've come across another camshaft in the boxes of parts I've acquired and have no idea what it fits. It is approx. 10mm longer than the others I've got and the profiles look very similar to the green/white one Ducati-Bob identified for me. The threaded end is the same as the other cams I have so do believe its from a Ducati.

The one in the foreground I'm unsure of against a 250 scrambler cam.

Many thanks for that Eldert, I came across a packet of clutch plates marked Ducati 860 so I guess a previous owner had a bevel twin too!

____ I've never examined the lobe-profile of any 860-cam (which I think were the same mild-cam as of the 1975 750GT model), but if indeed the profiles appear pretty-much the same as your G&W.cam, then I'd more suspect your L-twin bevel-cam to be that of a 1971-74 750-Sport.
