You will see that many of the tips and procedures used are universal for skill sets “every mechanic should know” and that the biggest value to my videos is the teaching of these skills that are not found in a service manual.
I often get asked this question:
Q: How does one learn these skill sets “every mechanic should know” if they are not found in a manual?
A: NUMBER 1…..GET DIRTY and start wrenching.
-Ask questions
-Find a seasoned craftsman to mentor under
-Tech schools can significantly speed this time up
-Research, read, watch YouTube videos
Tip: You will never learn it all from one source or in a short time period. No matter what craft you are trying to master, YOU must be dedicated and put the time in. THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO LEARN THAN DOING! I will say it again, you must actually do the work to master it. You cannot just watch or read about it and master anything.
You want to be a master bike builder, mechanic, welder, nurse, carpenter or you fill in the blank?
-Don’t take for granted opportunities to learn deeper
-Be humble and seek advice
-Be intentional with your learning plan
-Don’t blame a school, job or your parents for not giving you ever answer, go get it!
I teach a motorcycle/powersports technician program at Western Iowa Tech Community College in Sioux City, Iowa. These videos are used for review of labs for students and creating a deeper understanding of the lesson/skill set. As there is often more than one way of doing something, may you enjoy this free information as much as our students do in person. PLEASE HIRE OUR GRADUATES!
If you would like more info on the program feel free to contact me @ 712-274-8733 ext 1204 or email shane.conley@witcc.edu

This video was originally uploaded to help a customer who had over adjusted his indexing to the point it was no longer working, I thought I would add it to my channel because it may be helpful to other Scorpion owners who are having indexing issues.
This is a quick video to show you how to adjust the magazine on the BSA Scorpion and the very early Mark 1 R-10s that index when the trigger is pulled. If your magazine is not indexing properly after taking a shot and pulling the trigger ALL the way back then your indexing may need adjustment.
Notes:
- make sure the rifle is not loaded and does not have a magazine/pellets in it,
- take the action out of the stock,
- turn the action upside down so that you are looking at the trigger mechanism rather than the scope rail,
- use a small spanner (7mm or an adjustable) to loosen off the lock nut (shiny nut on the black threaded grubscrew that pushes the indexing pin in the mag slot),
- use an Allen key to loosen off the black threaded grub screw half a turn,
- while the Allen key is still in the grubscrew tighten the lock nut back up,
- fit a mag in the rifle and see if it cycles and indexes properly,
- keep adjusting it until it is working the way you like it,
- make sure the locknut is tight so that the grub screw does not move during use,
- fit the action back in the stock,
- go shooting!
Please carry out any repairs and adjustments at your own risk, If you are unsure and do not have the correct tools then it is best to take your rifle to a gunsmith or send it to me.
