Fairly sure there's a Kent someone on the site in South Africa, he has his own website selling 400 bits, wonder who it is now. He engraved my CB1300 ignition cover for me with an old style Honda wing, really nice bloke.

SPR:
More remedial progress ... one step forward two back etc :)
Replacement exhaust arrived from CMSNL and after carefully checking it is now fitted and the old one available for offers ;)
SPR:
More small steps
Big thanks to Ken Oddjob for coming over yesterday with the NOS tacho - really does make a difference.
Also he patiently answered my rather basic questions and pointed out I’d got a loose tappet - checked my points were decent and had a visual of the bike to see if anything jumped out that was wrong ....
Never met more helpful people than on this forum !!
Valves done and adjusted again - let’s hope I’ve cracked it this time :)
Also top yoke bolts swapped to correct way

Careful with the tappet, i chased a loose tappet for a few hours till i nipped up the exhaust gaskets!!
