Just on this I don’t know whether it helped but I poured as much oil as I could into the gallery above the points, might have helped I’m not sure

I think doing that may give you a false reading at the oil pressure switch but those who know alot more than me maybe able to comment further. It's more about getting oil to the top end that is important.

It’s a runner! (Well kind of)

No power to the coils so have jumped them off the battery to get her fired up
Few issues:
Obviously need to sort power to the coils properly
It’s idling at 3k, probably due to mebench syncing with too much thread out the top of the throttle slides (can’t reduce it with idle screw any more)
Intermittently dumping fuel out a few carb overflows which I’m a little confused about as I spent ages setting up floor heights etc and most bits have been replaced.
Clutch not engaging, obviously the bike has been stood a LONG time so presumably the plates are stuck together.
I can figure out most of the above it’s just the clutch, is it worth bumping in first and taking on a little ride to see if it unstick or is this always a strip down and rebuild job?
Nurse Julie:
Well done. Take the tappet covers off to see if oil is spitting out and maybe you should locate the tacho drive cable in correctly 🙂🙂🙂
