[QUOTE="Termite, post: 592530, member: 15709"] So it appears to have been fixed. Took it for a 20 mile test run on Sunday after doing the following: - check tappets (number 1 valves were a touch tighter than others, might not have set them correctly first time) - changed the oil - removed the exhaust and engine support bar - fitted a new gasket to the oil pump cover plate that was weeping. Torqued that correctly - re-fitted the exhaust with paste around every joint/gasket this time! - wrestled with getting the support bar back on after the exhaust. - I also noticed a Snell of petrol in the engine bay all day and found that petrol was dripping out of the carb. The gasket in the 13mm bolt for the main jet was leaking. This might explain why it had been a pig to start after leaving it a week or so as the carb bowl would've been dry - at the same time noticed the vacuum hose on the dizzy and carb wasn't a very tight fit, so renewed that Something out of that little lot sorted it !
