Thanks guys, could I see pictures of the units for sale? Are they in good shape?

I do

Looking for mechanical advance assembly, let me know if you have one for sale! Thanks

Thanks Gary, I will pull the needles and needle jets for a close inspection, I don't believe they are worn, I had a pretty good look at them last time they were out and didn't notice anything unusual. Ill take a boo around so see if I can locate any of these other options and give them a try :)

Ok, its been a bit since I have updated my progress on this, been on some family adventures and haven't had much time with the bike. So I've been playing around quite a bit over the last few days and after some miles with various tunings I am getting a feel for whats working and whats not with...

Been playing around to with my fuel ratio at idle. Currently set at 4% CO which translates to about 13:1 air to fuel. This would be still slightly on the rich side for what's considered normal for a air cooled engine, in the automotive world anyway. strangely when I set idle mixture using the...

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, school is out for summer and have been running around with the family on a couple trips. Few little tweaks since last post, first ones kinda interesting. I ran my bike down to a local bike show some weeks ago and randomly a fella came up to me and...

I'll look into it tomorrow, there are a few shops catering to vintage bikes around here as well as, hopefully someone can sort me

Make that 2 beers, for celebration! Found the needle jet laying in the dirt outside my shop.... Phew!!

Well crapola! Houston we have a problem. Just removed my float bowl on the other side and discovered.... That there is no needle jet in there :banghead: Looks like I'm adding more to the order :( So now I have a bigger problem, your saying the z-6 or no longer available and now I need one...

5twins, you are a legend! Confirmed the needle jets are z-6 which should be my stock size. Looks like I'm ordered some new jets then. I hear you about mikes parts, case in point my wonderful advance rod:) So I should probably grab all sizes from 127.5 to 135 or so, rather from 135 and up...
