That sounds great Johnny, the video makes it look and sound like a pit garage prior to the start of a 24hr endurance race👍

What were you tinkering with near the offside side panel, at first I thought it was the fuel feed but that looks to be hanging off the rafter.

Ken there’s a choke lever with a sticky cable fixed to side of frame! The wiring is home grown so leaves a lot to be desired. No kill switch, so thought I would disconnect the wire I connected to get power from battery to coils but the bike just kept running so must be being fed from alternator as well. Tim I just pulled the carbs removed all jets cleaned and put them back on. Just cleaned points had to reconnect one plug lead that had detached from plug cap.

Yes it will run from alternator after starting as long as revs are high enough to provide the excitation power
