Thanks Paul

I am thinking of riding to the Annual Rally on the Sunday weather permitting. It will be the first good test of my KH500 after tebuild. Can you jus turn up and get in or do you need to book?

Yes it is the VA from DR Motorcycles I am very pleased with it.
Thanks I will leave the sludge trap as it is with no threadlock.

I've been trying to get my newly restored 1951 KH500 to run properly on the new, correct spec Amal 276 I fitted. With all the book settings it was rich at low throttle openings, sooting the plugs up but lean at mid throttle causing overheating and nipping up. Cured the low throttle probs by fitting ...
