Thanks gentlemen. Finally got round to changing the switch and after 2 decent rides, one to the Ace Cafe in London and one to Supersausage in Pottersbury. Both in warm weather and no flickering to be seen.
Just thought I would post a result

Mistake on the oil, its Rock oil, 10/40 mineral for motorcycles. Level is fine. Only flickered once this year after a hard ride. First option is to swap the switch before doing anything more complicated. If this does not help, then I will look at the pump strainer, etc
Thanks all for the advice

Thanks for the replies. Will order an aftermarket one and see how it goes. Noticed a bit of flickering after a fastish run, when the motor was hot. Oil (Silkolene 10/40) and filter (genuine) have only done 300 miles.
Easiest option is to change the switch and see if that sorts it.

Is the genuine Honda part any better than the after market version. Want to change mine as it sometimes flickers when hot.
Cheers

Correct Oddjob, Good old DVSA doing a u turn. Think the problem is that bulbs are specified accorning to their wattage, so LED's cannot be compliant unless someone pays for some sort of homologation. Expect to see all LED lights being acceptable in time, asssuming that they meet the pattern.
Must confess that we would probably pass most led setup's if the pattern was good enough. Unfortunately a lot of these have cheap leds fitted and the pattern is all over the place.
Some good quality ones about now, but are expensive.

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. Gives me some good ideas to try. Copper plate may just do the job on its own as it is only a hairline crack, but enough to cause drips from the carb

Unfortunately Oddjob, it is not a Honda item. Its for my Suzuki Rebel and I have been chasing after one for about a year. Seems to be a one carb only bowl. Even the 250 Hustler of the same year has a different one. Hence the repair option.

I have a carburetor bowl with a hairline crack in it and obviously leaking. This particular part is very difficult to obtain.
I am looking at ways to repair it.
Thought about solder, but as its made of crap metal, it is likely to melt at a similar temperature to solder. I have tried an epoxy petrol sealer, but that leaked after about a year.
Also thinking that a little bit of tank liner solution may work, only need about 10 ml.
Any other options available??
Appreciate any thoughts

With the Triton, ensure all the faces are flat and pay special attention to the bolt holes, these tend to pull up a bit.

Both in one bag. Took off the indicators and top and tailed them. Bit fiddly but it was the biggest bag they made.

Used them several times and always been good. Managed to get a Z1000 and a Commando in the extra large bag a few years ago.

Used the Eazy Rizer for quite a few bikes over the years. Very good tool.
I have 3 types of fittings for it.
Could be for sale as it has not been used for a long time
