I think your right pgnz, they don't take a lot of strain.

Thanks for the offer xsIIE but I think I'm good. I've got new clutch plates and springs. Also got a new clutch boss which should arrive today hopefully.

I've set the mixture screws at 2 turns at the moment and colourtune looks ok. I'll know when I get it out on the road if it needs a bit more:)

I'd set the screws all even around 3 turns out for a base setting,   previous owner must have been shagging with things in the clutch previous,  those bolts should be trouble-free if done-up properly,  ah well chance to slam six new springs in,  likely the old ones are dodgy if 30 something years old

Just as things were improving, there's another spanner in the works... Or bolt actually.

Unfortunately after hearing a noise from my clutch area I thought I'd investigate. Taking the case off I found filings inside. Turns out one of the bolts holding the clutch plates sheared and got stuck between the clutch and cover causing a hell of a mess. Agh the beauty of old bikes.

I was super excited about taking her for a spin after I tuned it up too. Found the last owner had the fuel/air screws set to 2, 1 1/4, 1 3/4, and 5 1/4. Hmmm wonder how often he changed the 4th plug lol

Life goes on.
