Thanks again, yes it has the " taper" on the flywheel , will have to think about things , due to lockdown and the bitter winter I don't think I could justify another moggie build , Are there any variations of valve sizes? Maybe I should have a look at the cam timing/lift ? On the other sid...

Do not connect the heater to the Voltage stabiliser , Lucas smoke will be the result.
Which heater do you have , round or square?
