Carbs stripped and rebuilt by my son Keith Jnr.

First time he has done carbs though - Utrasonic leaned and new jets etc
Well pleased with results -back on bike all working fine
Also fitted new electronic ignition from DS straight enough replacement for points
Working on wheels \now new rim ,spokes and bearings just need new retainers and removal tools for retainers
front retainer has been chaveld so got it out with a bit of old school hammer and chisel
New bearings fitted once i have retainer i can start to relace rim.
Bike is coming together bit at a time
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I had a set of Keyster repair kits as per your photo, they came with my bike, they were purchased some 10-15 years ago by the PO.
The bike runs great on them despite many reporting that the original brass wear is better cleaned & kept.
