Yes Graham I have had them before and been ok, it was the adjuster screw and spring didn't line up so had to bend the bracket to make it fit. Now not fitting in the shell very well so will leave it for another day. Decided to set ignition timing but now only sparking on 2/3, not sure if coil faulty or some other problem. Oh and no power from safety switch on handlebar. Definitely a bad day! On the other hand oil lamp going out when I spin engine over and did get a couple of pops from engine so there is some life there somewhere.

You’re getting into the exciting stuff now Mick, considering what you started with. Once you sort out the niggles with the wiring you’ll have a runner!

This bike will be the death of me! Thought i would do something simple so fit the l/h engine cover with clutch mechanism and cable. Not going well, all seems ok but when i try to adjust the cable it seems to lock up and not return, the clutch slips when i use kickstart.If i then remove cover the clutch returns to normal. I am using new cable and clutch rod and have tried a couple of different spiral actuators so at a loss what to check next?

Oddjob:
Try undoing the lock nut for the large slotted worm drive, turn this clockwise IIRC, make sure the inner worm drive doesn't move. It should be just tensioned by the return spring on it. I suspect the inner drive is too far out so you need to retract it by moving the outer drive.

Harder to write than it is to do.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I've not reached that point yet Mick, I can see what Ken means though. I'm assuming you have shimmed the clutch basket beforehand.
