Buy yourself some JIS screwdrivers, they'll pay for themselves in no time.

Remove the screws holding the idiot panel on when you get some JIS tools. Blob them with a drop of vaseline or grease on the threads and very carefully refit them, DO NOT overtighten these or you will split the plastic if it's not already split. Same goes for the switchgear screws, bit of grease etc now will avoid some real struggles later on.

The idiot panel decal is available on E-Bay, will look much better fitted.

Keep them coming

Yep - got a set of JIS screwdrivers and was sceptical before using them but they are a perfect fit !!

I hear you about the grease and will do that each time and have an idiot panel decal ready to go on

Thanks

Simon

Big tip, run the motor every week for a decent time or you will be finding out just how much of a pain PD carbs can be

I suspect I'm finding that already - still not revving freely through the range although better today in that it will stutter and then rev so hopefully more runs will help

I've added some STP cleaner to the fuel and ordered new plugs
