Valve looks OK from down the exhaust port. I didn't check the nut under the hex plug, 'cos the plug won't shift even with a 2ft long bar on the...
Thanks for the info. Yes compression tested at WOT and both carbs are fully open. It is quite possible that the compressions were different on...
FWIW with the clearance reset to spec the compression is still way down, tested again (this time cold); RH - 145psi LH - 45psi :(
I think the bores are cast iron? because when I had the sump off I did a magnet test on the inside and it stuck. So unless there's some other...
Thanks for the advice, these are new to me (despite them being older than the ark!). I don't think the slight bend is enough to set the opening...

Engine turns over by hand fine, valve gear off now but seemed OK before (albeit with 0.3mm less valve opening). Pushrods look fine and move...
Head nuts OK.
In the workshop now, got the rocker cover off and nothing looks bent or broken but the valve clearance on the exhaust valve has grown. I...
Sounds promising, I'll be having a go tomorrow. :upyeah:
No idea, should it be?
Well, my joy was short lived; went for a good blast on it today, did around 180 miles and it was running really well. Then when almost home it...
I loctited mine as being single carbs they could (and probably would) rotate slightly thereby loosening the carb from the intake. However I can't...
Yes, I like it 'wrong'. All the available rearsets are the 'correct' way round so it took some engineering (new mounting bracket, cut & weld the...
Gearshift was conventional but I changed it to suit my preference, trouble is that it's not as easy to do on as on a Ducati because the gear...
To update, I have made a few changes. Reversed the gearshift to 1 up, 4 down combined with rearsets. De-linked the brakes & rebuilt the calipers...
