I held the body lightly in a vice with it supported underneath with a block...

Re: ATD - made in the UK?

Re: London - Edinburgh 2023 and the hopeless AA

That's worrying Rob as I am sure many members and classic bike owners are insured with Peter James. I trust you will be contacting Peter James to inform them of your troubles with the AA as well as bitterly complaining to the AA for such a miserable (non) service ?
Best wishes,
Keith.

If you are happy that the fuel level and Pilot Jet are both fine then perhaps try a slide with more cutaway ? I had the same problem, albeit with a monobloc carb, on m...
