Hi mudyman
What oil are you using, 5 30 works for me. As you know they are never very good anyway.
A TXR cover will also help if you can find one, cable run and lever are also important.

Aaah the good old National Board Coal wellies ! I would rather have wet feet personally. Only water proof till the foot pegs ate the instep and they leaked through there.
Would have been interesting if you had fitted a new Dellorto to one of them to identify if the improvement was purely down to Oko' s being better, or just better than a worn Dellorto. I have a 240 with original carb and can't really fault it.
Greeves will answer all your questions when he gets back from holiday. Fantastic event, lots on YouTube to watch will give you a taste of what it's about. Usually three routes which start with yellow easy. I have been lucky enough to ride it twice now, would recommend it anyone . Defiantly should be on the "list to do before you die"
Many TC members have ridden it so you will get answers to most questions.
Thanks for the answers Patrik and bestrcpilot, both make sense. Not to concerned about extra wear on the heel of the points as they generally last year's anyway, the dwell can only change by 10 / 20 degrees, will that make a significant change on a single cylinder engine ?
Its alot easier to change the timing by opening/closing the points, rather than taking the flywheel off and moving the back plate. But, is there any reason not to do it this way ? Thanks
