Check towbar and car specs , I'd be very surprised if this is legal and in the event of an accident may invalidate your insurance.

Check your getting a good flow from the tank as it could be debris in the tank.

Speak to people in the area with trials bikes and find a mot test station that understands trials bikes. Agree with everything above, also check wheel bearing have no play, spokes all tensioned, swinging arm no play, steering no play but adjusted to move with no resistance. You do not need a reflector, but stick one on. Tyres should be properly inflated (not trials pressures) no cracks or signs of deterioration, directional arrows should be correct orientation (or removed)

Worth checking if it's already registered, DVLA have / had an off road registration service so your bikes on the system of it gets stolen. I used this on another bike and discovered it was already registered. I got the original number back for £25.

I have used this company to get an age related plate. They are based on Bristol.

Cut down an old plug and use it to block the plug hole.

I'm curious how you know you have a 50% contact ? If you have stripped the cylinder off to check, what symptoms prompted this ?
Personally, on an engine of that era, I would only ever use semi synthetic at 50:1.
Generally once you have used about 5l of fuel, the piston should be fairly bedded in.

I believe any dampness in the timing cover causes slight rusting on the cam, this quickly wears the heal of the cam throwing the timing out.

I changed the "sealed for life" gear box oil in a vw at 100k miles, and it looked fine .....
-
Atf in clutch is good, not sure of quantity .
-
Virtual all clutches do this, type and quantity of oil has a bearing, but it is normal. Lots of different ways to free it off (and it will free off 99% of the time) Mins is start and warm engine, have plenty of space, push bike and slip it into gear, ride around with clutch pulled in. Maybe a bit of back brake too.

😂😂😂😂 we've all been there.

How much has brexit added to the cost ?
-
Are these the same as mine Patrik ? 😀

Good that your getting there. You should always have to use the choke from cold. If it will start without it you have a carb problem, float level or jetting, leaking needle valve. Always switch petrol off when storing or transporting, and completely drain carb and tank for longer periods.
-
If it's an NGK plug, a 6 will run colder than a 5 so will tend to foul sooner in typical trials going.
-
Is the coil body onto bare metal ? I'd disconnect and isolate all non essential wires.
-
Have you tried riding around dragging the brake getting it really hot, then spraying clean cold water onto the disc and pads ?
-
( not beta but fairly similar) Sticking clutches are pretty common, my preferred method is start and warm engine. Push bike and slip it into gear, ride with clutch lever pulled in and slight application of rear brake.

Coming to a Tesla near you....

Usually a bolt, welded to the frame, rough!y vertically. The length and position determined by the tank. A rubber bung is sandwiched between two largeish washers, and when compressed holds the tank. Usually some pipe insulation under the tank keeps everything snug.
-
We prefer to hurt ourselves before wearing protection ? I have plastic guards that cover knees and shins down to boots, probably wouldn't ride if I forgot them.
