Such is life :) I'm sure it will come in :)
On the plus side the NOS clutch cable is as smooth as silk ...... downside I seem to have bought 2 ! ::) oh and the clutch bar thing is broken so ofcourse I've bought 2 no NOS ones just in case !!!

Not sure if this will interest you Simon, but I got Piki to make me some decals for the overflow pipes off the carbs. Same as the ones on the HT leads, this way I can identify at a glance if one starts to leak and which one it is without pulling pipes off or tracing them back up (which isn't always possible) and saves fuel getting on top of the engine when you do pull a pipe off and find the overflowing carb, some engine paint don't like petrol so why risk it.
I would also advise pulling the clutch lifter mechanism apart, the one inside the sprocket case. Check it's intact, especially under the seal, they do get cracked, inspect the ball bearing for roundness, clean it up and regrease liberally.

I'll get on to Piki for a set - thanks
The push rod is definately broken ... I pushed it back together and it shifts OK but have picked up a couple of NOS ones so will replace it ....
I'll change the ball bearing - how do I get the lifter mechanism apart ? I've seen pics of it broken but TBH didn't check this as I was just happy to have installed the cable without loosing anything or breaking anything

Bryanj:
Undo the locking screw on the outside, remove the fork piece on the inside and the complete mechanism comes out from the inside

My push rod was broken beyond the “guide hole†and was burred, so it wouldn’t come out left side. I had to take off the clutch housing and take it out that side. Hope yours is easier. Best J
