Thanks Bryan

I've been reading the manual ... rather daunting in my case - I'm sure those with knowledge wouldn't bat an eye :)

Cheers

I've ordered the bits and also picked up 4 genuine Honda carb gasket kits cheap  ... so may start with the carbs first !!

Bryanj:
First thinhg with carbs is on the mixture scres should be a spring, tiny washer and very tiny O ring that all need to be there but get easily lost. O ring also gets stuck in the "hole" and needs to be removed.

That is the same as the Harley ... I’ve read that 1 1/4 turns for the mixture ?
