with valve no 8 fully open i set valve no1 to 0.010 with the feelers then locked the adjuster, then followed on in this order

valve 8- adjust no1
valve 6-3
valve 4-5
valve 7-2
valve 1-8
valve 3-6
valve 5-5
valve 2-7

easy as that !

yeah , am un decided if the dizzy is buggered or not , so need to make a test circuit up tomorrow then will decide weather to keep it or swap it over, then will spray it ;)
 
ah could do it tomorrow, :) after a mornings finishing off , but want to get the new chassis / old chassis restored before it gets dropped in , will prob fire it up in a stand so i can get it running smooth, in the next couple of weeks, no rush , got a few bits to sort out , starter motor, bell housing , timimg , fuel pump, pullys belts etc, oil filter, nothing major, just bits
 
will keep boring you all with the pics, got the rest to do now, think il do the quick gear box overhall, then the bulkhead restoration ( rotted to ****) but am going to repair it all ! slowly but surely.
