Nice looking bike, if only we could take them out on the road. I’ve done a fair bit of fettling with mine, plugs out, plugs in, carbs off, cleaned pilots again carbs back on, electronic ignition off, points back on etc etc. I’ve now ended up with electronic ignition back on and pilot air screws 2 turns out and she is running and idling pretty good, but might be a spluttering heap once out on the road. I don5 like just running her in the garage as the engine has been fully rebuilt, need to get it working. I’m up in Orkney by the way.
