Helpppppppppp a: Yes b: They are the front indicator earth returns, the ring goes on the stalk mounting behind the nut and washer c: is your brake light stuck on, try unplugging the front and back switches to eliminate, I would say most likely the back one first Have you got a manual with a wiring diag?

Cheers for that, Front brake sensor was playing up so purchased one today and fitted and rear light works correctly. Will try indicators tonight. will put a pic up later. Have a manual now so hopefully it will help me but hey im poo with wires, lol It wont be mint restoration as have not re-chromed the wheels and forks but i can do these at a later date should i want to. Engine on first rebore fitted with new piston and rings as old ones were stuck in and back to the standard exaust. im happy with the result so far £800 for the bike, lashed out £400 completing work so dont think i will loose much money in the end. Not that this matters as i love tinkering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clivew1965 Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ok Clive, look forward to the pic, any other probs...just ask Ok think i have now sorted electrics. bad earths due to paint on handlbars and frame. Started it today and it apeared to tickover fairly fast. I have put a new carb needle in and jet and changed the needle clip as it was on the first point, manual says 3rd, is this right and could this be the reason its ticking over fast? adjust the tickover screw done nothing.

Moderator Airhead Posted March 18, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 18, 2011 Try screwing the mixture screw in slightly. The official setting is 1 1/2 turns out from gently closed. Sounds lean at idle. Also try having a spray around the carb and manifold with WD40 to see if the engine speed changes, indicating an air leak. is your carb a 2H500 or a 3U500 ?
