Thanks for all your help,
Really helpful,
Thinking may/June time
Going to try and plan a route,
How easy is it to get B&B on the islands?
Or the mainland as well?

Using the 8-L would make them even more prone to fouling at tickover and low load,
Must be for high load ,like racing

Whatever you do, don't go in the MIDGE SEASON!
When is it?
All you need to know about the dreaded midge! https://www.calltoadventure.uk/journal-entry/midges-in-scotland/ Gawd knows how they survive in Kilts!
Any time between April and September When the wind doesn't blow!! Sent from my SM-A546E using Tapatalk

as the title says,I want to explore Scotland,
as I live in the west mid lands,its will involve a ride north,
my general plan is,
ride north,use the M6 to get past Manchester,then explore the local areas,
I amexpecting to ride around 300 miles a day,that can be adjusted,
so ideally a B&B north of Manc
I have a friend to stay with near Glasgow, I want to explore the islands,so info on ferries and B&B,so a nice cruise to John O'groats,
return south on the easter side,
similar into england,down as far as Lincilnshire,then home,
time is not critical, suggestions from those thatlive in the areas,
also reccomendations of places tovisit.
some thing for 2025
your help is appreciated

Couldn't you cut a piece of 6mm alloy to shape, drill for the screw,
Make a gasket, and fit??
Or you could buy a sheet of carbon fibre, the sort that is used for models,

Could I suggest something I do,
Take the bike for a run about 15 to 20 miles get it nice and warm When home, keep the engine running, put on centre stand
Get your long screw driver
Now ,turn one airscrew a quarter turn out, Check what happens, blip the throttle, OK?
If it struggles,turn to previous settings
But if its OK,do another, repeat, and check
Remember, Modern fuel is different than 50years ago,
It might like a leaner tickover

I have a thought, the joints and the splines on the shaft drive,
I know a friend that had a K brick had issues
