Bryanj:
Try with a clean using denatured alcohol but be prepared for a pattern master cylinder from Dave Silver(you will get to know his web site very well) i think about £40 but out of stock at moment, stripping the master is not as easy job and causes lots of frustration and anglo saxon.
Make a listof what is missing and put it up here, people frequently let parts go for postage plus a beer

Thanks @Brianj, @oddjob, too late! I bought it already 🤣
Now the fun begins!
Longstride:
Thanks Oddjob! I've managed to get one from ebay but really appreciate the support! Same for the idiot lights (I never heard them called that before SOHC :-) )
If anybody had a front master cylinder however Id bite their hands off!
Longstride:
A little video update today!
Taking it very easy and gently, slow revs on the pilot jet circuit, some on full jets, loosening up the cruddy carbs. Def needs a rebuild but running ok for now!
Amazingly aside from one indicator (which works as side light) electrics all seem to work!
Are the indicators dual filament?
Just need a clutch cable, and sort front brakes out then fresh tyres and tubes and she’ll be pretty sound!
Going to do an engine flush then fresh oil tomorrow.
