OK here is a summary

Fuelling issues - loads of sh*t in carb lines & filters - reset float levels - replace carb fixing bolts with studs - replace carg gasket - fit fuel filter - now get more than 10 mpg again

Air cleaner lid too close to top of carb - spacer fitted - no longer hessitating on acceleration

Oil leak from dizzy seal, rocker cover gaskets. Replace diff pinion oil seal.

Suspension setup - adjust toe in on front (towiung out badly), raise rear ride height, adjust (soften) damper settings - ride quality and steering response much improved.

Fabricate stainless heatshield for brake light pressure switch (3 fried previously)

Fabricate bolt on fixings for exhaust end cones (removed once on 1/4 mile at Elvington )

New front wheel bearing. Vacuum pipe leaking.

While down there - plugs, oil, filter change - check gearbox oil etc

Some of this I normally do but other bits I would have been there ages trying to sort. Well chuffed with the result
