Yes Glyn and Ian. Both of those comments are true in my case. Since I have got the barrel type you speak of Glyn, I can see that these are just regulate rates of suction and that turning them when the engine is not sucking will not actually do anything.

I am glad you have pointed that out Ian because that is probably what I am experiencing with starting the bike every two weeks as part of radiator research.

Thanks, Will

Thanks Gents. I already have a banjo on the left side which I believe is standard so if I am going to do as recommended, what is the delivery point please. Having looked at the bike it seems that there needs to be oil dripped into that gap between the starter chain ratchet and the gearbox. Is that right?

You carry on with writing stuff Richard, by the way. It helps.

Thanks.

I fitted top and bottom gauzes to either side and this stopped the spitting. The next thing to do is reduce that to just one either side to increase air flow and see if the spitting still stops.

OK thanks Richard. That seems easy enough. I have a number 6 carb fitted too which I can replace with a smaller 274 carb I got recently. The internals are the same but it seems like it will not be drawing so much air and this might help too.
