Since the carb was new, the fuel was reasonably fresh and there was unburnt fuel getting through, I doubted it would be a blocked jet, so went for the part that I'd last worked on - the ignition. Took the coil pickup plate off, and found that I could move the magnetic rotor around by finger pressure. Must have been OK up until the point I gave it the beans, where the vibes loosened it off.
Found TDC, realigned it, tightened it, rechecked TDC, put the pickup plate back on. Started second kick. If this becomes a problem, I'll Loctite it. Or weld it.
I won't really weld it.
Still got to tune it, get the carb setup right, and I've a long list of cosmetic jobs I want to do, but I'll settle for running at the mo. Hopefully, I'll get another shakedown ride in at the weekend, and maybe, just maybe, make it to Billing Bike Meet on Wednesday.
