Winter strip down
Laverda Dave:
When I torqued the head down on my 400/4 I used a calibrated torque wrench. A couple of days later when I came to fit the rocker cover I thought I would check the head bolts one last time and found I could get another 1/4 turn on the torque wrench! I put this down to the copper washers under the bolts having a bit of 'give' in them as I had annealed them before reusing.
Laverda Dave:
The choke lever on no.1 carb has a very, very small ball held by a spring. The spring pushes the ball into an indent when the choke is off. The ball and spring get gummed up and stick in the carb but can be easily lost if the carb is deep cleaned.

I don't recall that but I'll take a closer look at it. I'll let y ou know what I find.

Are you sure? I have been looking at the Parts List diagram and the assembly on my bike and I can't see anything like this, and in operation there doesn't feel to be any sort of location of this sort.

Nope, my choke doesn't have any of those parts either
