Happy with how these cleaned up considering they were filled filled in, there's still a bit of build-up behind the welded on plates that I need to drive out somehow and treat before I epoxy primer ir.

That's what I'm wondering Ted, I'm in half a mind to leave it as it is. I've had a result with the badge clips, chipping out all the filler has revealed them to be in perfect condition so I'm going to fill the dented area around them and get new badges.

It's a middle transparent brown kind of colour, I'll get a phorlto up see if anyone can identify it.

I've sanded back to the fixing clips, annoyingly one is dented back in so I may have ro resort to just filling them over. I'll still attempt to clean all the filler off though because I have found the odd bit of light rust under some areas.
Back to the liner, would thinners strip it? I've got 5ltrs of it kicking about.

I've stripped all the paint off and most of the old filler, the plan was to get it back to bare metal so I could guarantee there was no rust under the filler. I knew the badge clips had been filled over and badges just glued back on but I'm wondering if I just do the same? They are going to be a right pain to get all the filler out of and due to dents might not even work as badge holders anymore.
What should I do, fill back over and use double sided badge tape? I'm not going for concourse looks as is a cafe racer.

I've read acetone will remove them, might ginmve it a try before I start painting this thing, it seems pretty solid though so hopefully I'm not poking the bear as it were.

I think it's been used for target practice!

Im putting carb issues to one side for now while the weather is crap to get my grotty tank prepped ready for my attempt at a DIY respray. This is where I'm going to ask you wise folk for your opinion on tank liners, my rather battle scarred tank has what appears to be a light brown liner which currently looks to be OK but as I'm doing a respray should I consider removing it?
I'm doing a full bare metal strip which has uncovered quite a bit of filler, I knew I would having run a magnet over it, the tank badge clips have been filled in so I think I might have to do the same for two reasons. Firstly my badges were glued on with the pins cut off, secondly I the denting is mostly around the badge area so I think getting the clips to accept the badge pins will be nigh on impossible. Any thoughts or opinions appreciated.

Don't do it, you'll be wishing you hadn't next spring and be looking to buy another but in worse condition. I did that with my Clio 182 when I bought a van

Another one done, with a final bit of tensioning it’ll be ready for a tyre!
Impressive! I need at least my rear wheel rebuilt with new spokes and rim but I don’t know if I can work up the courage to do it myself; it would be a first for me.
It's really not that hard Mike once you've watched a few videos, the critical bit is getting CWC to send you the correct spokes, they've got mine wrong twice out of two builds. Quite enjoyable really.

I must be missing it but I can't find the air screw adjustment procedure in the shop manaul
Unsure of location in manual, but usually it's within a carburettor strip and rebuild section as it deals with optimisation after reassembly. Thats rather than service section.
I haven't viewed all of the manuals, but it's definitely contained in the mix I have.
I found an old post of yours where you explained it very nicely so I'll put it into practice.
