If you leave most of the engine bolts out except the bottom two, you can jack the rear of the engine up as far as it will go. That then gives an extra 20mm or so to get the carbs in.

Thanks Mike, that's worth bearing in mind. I usually don't have a problem fitting the carbs back on, I just push and compress the airbox back as far as it will go and then start wiggling them in. As always, it's not the easiest job in the world but I usually manage.
Nurse Julie:
Still finding myself short on time at the moment, but continuing with little bits of work.
Took apart this part of the clutch mechanism today to give it a good clean.

On the back side it was full of old gritty, dirty grease and I'm sure not performing to it's best, although I never felt there was anything wrong with it.

Looks a lot better after a good clean. I will re grease everything and re assemble and fit the casing to the bike.

Cleaned the alternator up a bit and fitted it to the bike.

And fitted the starter motor. You can see through the hole where the spline locates on the gear.

Is that a new O ring on the starter motor spigot?
I doubt they ever leak ? .... just looks a bit flat in its groove.
