Number plates: saw a Triumph Thruxton (red with the white stripe down the middle) with a black 09 plate. This is Canary Wharf car park and in London they seem to cr@p on you for revenue when you think about rolling a wheel out of place. Wretched CSO Home Guard types.

Oddjob: in my book that is a fight case. Sounds like vigilanti-ism as well    what's wrong with people??

Superb build that Greebo, well done. Does it run and tick over okay with the F2 carbs on it?

Hi Roy,
Sorry for the late reply, but I had not got the bike on the road at that point, now I have, & No it did not run properly, it did tick lover OK, but it was lacking fuel, so re-jetted it with 135mains & lifted the needles 2 notches, but it was still missing especially on the 3rd cylinder....back to the workshop, stripped the carbs again & fitted new bowl kit to all 4 carbs , it is now runs spot on...
Question
The only other issue I have is with the clutch, it is a new clutch, but it only pulls away when the leaver is right at the end [as though its ready for a new clutch]  we have tried adjusting on the cable & with the plate off on the internal adjuster. have you or Anyone alse got any ideas ? 

Cheers

Sounds a bit like the lifter mechanism isn't lifting fully. Its a system where ball bearings run up a ramp as the cable turns the lifter. I would check that as a start point.

Update

After a few teething problems [which are to be expected] the bike is now fully sorted & running like a dream,the performance is much more than I expected...... ..

Tell us what cured your clutch, others might have the same problem

With the clutch we simply tried different adjustments until we sorted it, a combination of internal & external tinkering.

With the carb setting issues we first had, we fitted 135 jets & lifted the needles 2 notches from the stock setting, but it was still lacking fuel, so we tried one more notch on the needles & Bingo,it now goes pulls like a train.. could not be happier, but it has took sometime to get here, we started this project last year...
