Well as I say Bryan
Not used to Revving an Engine that hard....yes as you say No where near the red line.... but i don`t thrash the Sh*T out of an engine I just want it to last. i did go to 80 ish at one point and the speedo needle when it hit that speed went right up and off the clock....... don't Know why but as soon as it came down it was fine again..dam gremlins.
but i am glad that it runs well Now and Not got the Rev flat spot No more...... as they say keep at it till you get it right and i do that to all my bikes....... some people say I over polish them too and they don`t look right...but as I say each to their own. I just like to look at a bike see if it`s looked after or Not if you know what I mean.

I’ve been scratching my head over the ignition timing. Just couldn’t make sense of it, going round in circles trying to find what I’d done wrong. Almost like the advancer was 180 degrees out, but didn’t think it could be as there’s a locating peg. Then a quick search on here confirmed that the cam could be reassembled incorrectly. Images of the advancer online show the mark on the rim facing the semi circular alignment notch whereas mine faces away.

My efforts to free up the original f/brake master cylinder, which was gummed up and is still stuck fast, have so far been unsuccessful. I’ve cleaned it externally and soaked it in penetrating oil but had no joy. As I’m unsure whether it will be too badly corroded if I do eventually manage to free it I got a good master cylinder without internals from 400fourbits and used the repair kit I got for the original.
[ Guests cannot view attachments ] I’m still searching for a lower German or French handlebars so I’m reluctant to get throttle cables and the top brake hose until I’ve exhausted all avenues and know which bars I’ll be using.

Yes Bryan there is a very thin copper gasket not like the old brit bikes , it's so thin I'm wondering if it's soft enough not to anneal
