OK the bike runs , quick trip the road and seems to pulling fine .....until i could smell petrol ....flooding carb.
It too dark and cold for a proper test run and Carbs will have to wait till tomorrow , one of them needs a quick tap !
Sounds better already and no smoke on start up .....full run tomorrow.
Question ? the two dowty washers on the head , why are they there ? why not have just plain copper washers?. Its can't be to stop oil leaks as other studs are exposed to the elements.
The reason why I had domed head around these washers fit is the metal bit of the washer is too big , so the nut pushes on the outside bit and not the centre where the rubber is = dome. The previous ham fisted muppet that has worked on this engine has over tighten them. Also stripped 2 studs holding the rocker box down. ;-)
