New Amal concentric carb fitted, old air box removed, still need to sort the twist grip adjuster though, as it's non standard and leaves no slack in the cable. Timing looked at, and whilst it's at the maximum of the contact breaker's plate adjustment, it's still not spot on. Have procured the tool from Hitchcocks to remove the cam so it can be repositioned, and the locking washer so that the timing can also be set at full advance.
New Lithium battery has been fitted, and a new positive feed cable made up, as the other one was green and holding on by about 4 strands of copper. Redid the rear loom with permanent connectors, rather than the temporary chocblock connector I'd put on, and made up a pair of brackets, then rewired/relocated a new pair of rear indicators. This means I can now use panniers without hiding the indicators, and there's less chrome to polish. Need to paint the new bolts that replaced them - far too shiny :-)
Photo was taken before I angled both the same way, and tightened the nuts :-)
Bonus tip, Rimmel of London's "Black Cab" nail varnish is a good match for a black Enfield, to cover small scratches before the rust sets in. Don't ask how I had Rimmel of London's "Black Cab" nail varnish in my toolbox.
Not Shaggy's fingers.
