Hi Pete, hope you got home ok, I transferred the final payment after you left. I cant seem to get the bike to tick over properly, it starts ok on the choke but without the choke keeps cutting out, any ideas? Also I noticed, as you said, that the front brake is still binding. I hope to get out on it in the next couple of days so will report back then, but just thought I should let you know.

Reply from Pete Thorne:
How long were you letting the engine warm up for, it appears to need choke for quite a while before the choke can be let off. I don't recall rebuilding the master cylinder, but the caliper was stripped painted and rebuilt.

Hi Peter, I have just managed to complete 12 miles on the bike, was all going well at first then the revs went up to 3000 and wouldnt come down, I stopped and adjusted the throttle stop then it wouldnt restart for ages, so I had to put the revs back up. Then the front brake started dragging until I almost came to a stop. Managed to eventually get home but it wont tick over and is very noisy. I noticed there was smoke coming from the right lower exhaust while it was ticking over at 3000 revs.
Let me know what you want to do.
