Hi thanks for the reply BL engine is just rebuilt with new piston /rings/small ends/gudgen pin rebored to 84mm carb/jets are all clean/clear I took the floatbowl off "one more time" to discover one float has completley disintergrated into many small pieces floating around within the bowl carb is original I think from 1976 Bing 84 also ordered new float ass. new jets pilot/main/needle from Inmotion so waiting for post to arrive then will report hopefully just some fine tuning on the pilot as you said watch this space

I have tried easing the spacer to one side to show the bearing and hopfully drift it out with as much heat as I dare either side of the hub no joy this morning I placed an M 10 expanding rawlbolt just inside the hub/inner part of the bearing tightened it up to grip on the inner race ring and with some heat equal to the nose cone on the Space Shuttle and a few hits with my 4kg lump hammer from the othe side of hub out came a bearing EUREKA ! the other bearing was easier to remove of course, I did find heavy traces of red loctite on the hub dont quite know why as bearing recess X 2 " are in good usable order ? thank you all for your input

I am in the process of restoring my 77 350 Sherpa I am at the rolling chassis stage and now checking the motor over, before I started the project I rode the bike and all vital signs were good ie: gearbox selecting as normal clutch responding as normal engine crisp and responsive, I have taken ths cylinder head off and decoked the head and piston crown. I noticed there is no head gasket is this normal on my model ? also stamped on the cylinder close to the overlap joint is 159 R my engine No, is JM-19100771 the bore is unmarked with a std. Mahle piston any help gratefully received Stanley
