After the engine rebuild went quite well I still had some niggling problems that were spoiling the bike
Sticking throttle cable
Pinking under load
Float valve sticking
bad rockerbox leak
harsh transmission caused by the clapped out rear hub bearing causing the sprocket to run out of true
Excessive noise form the tappets
You do all the work and just keep finding more problems! Anyway I addressed all this issues before I went away for break and had no time to actually test ride the bike. I needed a MOT test and decided to have it tested and go for a test run. To my utter delight all the fixes worked and the bike ran like a dream and it passed the MOT with no issues! After a long hard slog I feel I am finally geting somewhere and all the hassle and frustration seems worthwhile.
Cheers
Duncan
