Thank Roo mate!

We've got an address in the High Street in my home town of Kington that has hundreds of businesses registered at it.

It's not oil. I smell petrol so it's overrich. Fuel is different these days. Maybe Shell is right and you can adjust to leaner and save fuel when you run their V-power, which I do. The problem with these bikes is, they will always run and keep going where a twin simply quits rightaway when something is not in good order.

CB500/550 / Re: Rocker Housing - Stuck??

Mine was fairly solid, might be worth tapping it back down where it is sligjhtly raised. I found my big rubber mallet worked making sure I  tapped it all round including some upper blows on the intake side.
I also sprayed WD40 type stuff all around the dealing area.
Thanks Ted. I have just given it another good squirting and a firmer tapping with a plastic headed mallet to no avail. I havent tried tapping upwards from the intake side; i will try that tomorrow morning after an overnight soak. Where did you bash it upwards on the intake side?

I can slide a polished paint scraper around between the castings to the right hand dowel but not the left hand one so I guess its seized on the left one. Im assuming the dowels are supposed to be locked into the head as opposed to the rocker housing?

I've noticed quite a few Websites where phone numbers, actual postal address are missing as well as a lack of e-mail address.
Some that have them keep them well hidden it seems with lots of navigation needed.

Companies Act 2006.

If you are a limited company in the UK you must put (at least) your registered address on your website.

That address is often one of a row of brass plaques at an office full of letter boxes!

I'll put it out there, plug fouling can also be caused by oil burning.
Worn rings or valve stem seals/ guide wear.

Thanks Fellahs those are very interesting and helpful replies. I will start reading up on classic bike etc and could be interested in those tools Ian. Impressive that you have the skills and kit to make them. Nothing happening very soon on this but great to know you guys have got my back 👍
