Ok so finally had the chance today to ring the guys at Burlens. Really helpfull, nothing was too much trouble, really nice guys. After checking with them what i was getting for my rebuild kit and my issues - i asked if i was getting 'solid' discs as opposed ' poppet valve'versions - i was told ' lea...

First pic is of number 5, after turning mixture screw of rear carb anti clockwise, apparently to weaken mixture. Engine performing worse than previously. Second pic - sorry for duplicate - after reinstating to how it was, but now turning half a flat the other way to enrich - clockwise - engine now s...
