Nurse Julie:
If you do find the dowels are missing Brian, I have some here. They are No.11 on the fiché

UPDATE:
I now have bike sorted.
My mechanic ( now ex-mechanic) installed the new regulator/rectifier incorrectly, in fact  he did not install the one I gave him at all, he used a rectifier he had in stock but still managed to wire it up incorrectly.
I got an auto spark who sorted it.

I took bike for a 25 mile run and then using an IF temperature gun, I measured the following temps.:
Fins ; 120 oc
Stator/Rotor side casing 72 oc
electronic ignition side casing 68 oc.
This all seems normal.
Bike is running really well, I have to install the spring on the choke rod for the carb yet.
I can get bike easily up to 80 mph but not much there after.
Idle sitting at 1200 rpm.
Thanks for all your help

Brian

Oddjob:
What spring on choke rod?

Should get beyond 80mph quite easily, should really only start to struggle after 100mph.

Many cowboys about that think they know what they are doing is correct  ;)
Next time you take the bike out rev to 7000 rpm and change gear at those revs and see if it is still sluggish. If you are still struggling to get it past 80 mph, have a look at your float height's to check that you are getting enough fuel.
