General rule I thought was increased flow = better cooling. Yes, providing the coolant is flowing where you want it to flow. Many engines will run hot if the thermostat is removed, as the flow does not reach the radiator but takes the path of least resistance, which may well be back around the block.

The diagrams are drawn to a large size then reduced down. I did the opposite by taking the wiring diagram [A4 size] and enlarging on a photocopier to A3 size. The fold in half and enlarge each half [now A4 again] to A3 size. Join them together and you now have an A2 size wiring diagram that should b...

Or do they mean the nut size is 22mm AF, and the spigot is actually smaller ?

I think the choice is ride it once a month to get every thing up to temperature and make sure brakes/clutch do not stick, and tyres do not lose pressure and develop flat spots Or Drain petrol tank and carbs [ leave filler cap open to prevent condensation ] Change oil before lay up so there is clean ...

If you don't want to cross the north/south divide, Harwich is just as close for me as Hull, and I guess there will be a group going via Calais.

Rotterdam to the site is approx. 250 miles
Calais to the site is approx. 400 miles

Right, I have put my tools down, and taken a deep breath. :?? With the colourtune on No3, I could get a steady idle, but when blipping the throttle, the revs would hang, and slowly decrease to idle. So richened the mixture on all four carbs slightly, this helped with the revs hanging, but then I fou...

Now off again to fine tune...

What is the battery static voltage and the voltage across the battery when on idle? What is the measured voltage at the coils when on idle? Has it got a Dyna 'S' or the original ignition system? Which coils does it have? Has it definitely got the correct fuel levels in all four carbs? AL Right, fin...
