Yes I do :D

Just had a look but I dont know how to pop the rod off that goes from the balance bar down to the throttle on the carb. The little steel bar with the black plastic gimbal ends. They seem to have a clip on the top which pops up but from there I cant work it out. I dont want to force it off from the left as I might break it.

Any ideas Cheers

Its sprung-loaded, try moving it left or right.

Must admit, not messed with the twin carb set up for donkeys years but recollect part of it bolts to flaps and once those nuts are off, it starts to come apart ok. I'm sure bits of it are 'push on'.

Yeah I managed it in the end just didnt want to break it. I removed the tinware and there was a lot of oil on the top of my new head, right under the carbs. thats outside of the rocker. Not sure how it got there and does seem a little runny.

I know I have a leak around the oil cooler, probably the oil cooler seal but not sure how it can get on the left cylinder head on top of the rocker. But im gonna have a look today
