All the Best Mark.

Carol want's the shepherds hut.

OOOOOH! I just overloaded a Morgan V twin three wheelers and real motor bikes.

Lovely Morgan. J.A.P. or Matchless V twin?

Some people could be well impressed when you say, "I've got a Vincent."

The man's magnetic.

I've never seen that Vincent badge on anything but Comets and Black Shadows. Lovely!

Your going to need another barn to put 'em in.

Angle gear box to trans.

How about making an extension for the output shaft? You could fit a supporting out rigger.

Just need a bike to go on the trailer now.

I've been looking at that photo, Ian. Would it be possible to shorten the Honda drive shaft behind the UJ, machine a sleeve/adapter to fit the angle gearbox and weld it to the shortened shaft? You would only have one UJ then.

Be like driving a series Land Rover with overdrive.

I can just imagine that. I think seat belts would be mandatory.

OOOW! It's got the little thingy on the bonnet.

Some interesting machinery there. Thanks!

Well it runs and not as rich now, but it's still erratic. It seems to be t'other way round. a bit lean. I can get anywhere near the lovely idle it had with the original carb. It also seems to have quite a bark now. I took the original carb to the garden machine centre, I frequent. He's going to see if he can find a float bowl that fits. When I get that, I'll refit and see what transpires. Until then I'm leaving it alone. (Maybe?) I've got a question though. In which hole does the connecting rod from governor arm to throttle go.? The top one in the arm or the lower one?

Good idea. Now where can I find two big lads to lift my tractors?

Looking at that, I think you'll need it. Be good to see finished.

Probably stuck in some hedge, somewhere.

More than fingers crossed, Chris.

Where's the mark 3?

Further to more info, I've found that the original carb has not got a broken screw after all. It didn't have one to start with. Being a later model carb it is a fixed jet. All to do with emissions. It still has the wrong float bowl though. I checked the float settings on both carbs. The older carb has a brass float, the later one plastic. I set the height of the brass float but was unable to set the drop. The tag, as in Chris's diagram, is missing. The plastic float, much bigger than the brass one, was ok for both settings. Unfortunately they are not interchangeable and neither are the float needles. The older carb is now all together and on the tractor, ready to try tomorrow. One thing for sure is I'm learning about the carbs.

Only things I find under trees and in hedges are old fence posts and barb wire. Anything useful has been spirited away by southern tourists.
