Underdog1:
Seats got covered, upholsterer text me yesterday but not managed to pick it up yet
Nurse Julie:
Very nice.
Underdog1:
Seats fitted and took the bike out for a spin. Have also had a fiddle with and synced the carbs
I think it looks great and is just what I wanted. Bikes running alright still a little stumble at 3.5k but I’ve got another needle clip position to try in the future. The front sprocket oil seal is now doing its job since tapping it into place but will keep an eye on it, just getting some drips from one of thof oil hoses which I’ll look at getting repaired when I change the oil.
Since replacing the washers on the fuel tap with dowty style ones as recommended by Bryan I’m not getting any more leakage through the petcock, I am however still getting overflowing carb bowls when the fuel tap is left on, just dribbles out. Have tested the brass overflow pipes for cracks and they’re all good, have swapped the replacement float valves with oem ones but still no joy. Pushing the floats up by hand stops the flow of fuel when the bowls are off
Nurse Julie:
Well done you, it looks great and its a real credit to you. I know you have had plenty of agro and dramas along the way and I'm sure there will still be little problem that pop up and need sorting but that's old bikes for you. Enjoy.
Oh and make sure its totally legal and safe, Mr Plod just loves to pick on something a bit different !!!

Thanks Julie! Been a steep learning curve as I’ts my first time dabbling with engines and before I started this thread I don’t think I even owned a set of sockets.. I’ve now got a pretty well equipped workshop.
Big thanks to you, Graham, Bryan and all the others who’ve given me help along the way, few last bits of tinkering and that should be his thread closed. Only took 2 years ;D
