Aha, of course, lol :oops: I think Rambonio did try to explain it to me but I always feel like Pooh Bear listening to Rabbit when he explains things, and a small piece of grey fluff blew into my ear at some point and I lost the rest of the explanation after that :( I am only a Bear of Very Little Brain :oops:

What's this about points bro? You running a S1 dizzy? That won't do.

How's that running? Have you set it up right? That could certainly account for some of the rough running.

Running like a charm now, even with a low battery and a slow crank she fires after three revolutions. Was running a bit rich though and idling high to counteract it so leaned her back slightly and now have a good steady 1k idle. Could go lower but I'll leave that to my friendly carb tuner.

So, sort clutch master cylinder and replace brake line then it's off to the MOT station. :shock:

Clutch hydros sorted tonight thanks to some swift posting by Ramon, so finally made the trip from the shed to the drive under own steam and aside from some arch rolling and the brake hose which will go on Sunday - she's nearly ready for the big day.
