  7. most likely cause is the crank seal magneto side, you may see evidence of petrol / oil in the magneto behind the cover? Also check the condition of the carb to engine rubber duct and the tightness of the carb clamp

  15. Tyres affter a while running with the catspaw treaded tyres I wanted to fit something akin to the original yokohama block pattern type, I eventually found them here http://www.vintagetyres.com/ The rear is Ensign Trials Universal 3.50 x 18 Front Mitas Trial ET-01 2.75 x 21 other possibilities are Heidenau K67 ? but you wont get a 4.00 in the back? so you'd need to stick with 3.50 Pretty sure 'Kenda' do something like too but we cant get them easily in UK Petrol tank cover and seat cover were both new old stock and you just dont see them often at all, they came from ebay Tank cover is CEET an American firm Seat cover is 'Chalks Racing'
