Well, nearly there!
After the recent problems it's just about sorted, original carbs had a leaking diaphragm, holed float and on close inspection the pilot holes welded and re-drilled - badly!
The vacuum advance was knackered and allowing too much air into one cylinder.
Had bought a replacement set of carbs to do up over winter but these are now on in place of the originals and working fine.
So far I have bought 3 so called working advance/retard units at £50 a pop and none of them work so the pipe is just clamped off.
But at least it's working, and a damn sight better than when I first got it - it actually goes 90% like an 1100 should now!!
