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.

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

Pure copper gasket, yes. Annealing it softens it so seals better when head bolted down.
