Pass my thanks on to Bruce for his excellent diagnostics
Please pass my thanks on to Bruce for his excellent diagnostics. On his advice I checked both butterflys with a torch and both were bleeding light. I adjusted them to seat properly and was then able to balance the carbs perfectly and get it to idle nice and slow. It runs beautifully now, very smooth and responsive. Thanks again for your help and excellent service as always.

You all rock over there!
Many thanks Brian and everyone for all your help. I finally got the bearing carrier out and it was the pin as you thought Brian, somehow it had worked its way loose. The whole area does seem original and nothing had moved so I tapped the pin back in and filled the space with solder and used a centre punch to crimp the end over that I reckon it should work ok. The parts I ordered arrived today which once again is amassing. You all rock over there. I ordered a Clymers manual with the order, you informed me Brian that it was out of stock and you had them on a back order. Could you send me one when you get them in. Once again many thanks and kind regards to you all in the west.
