Hi, yes there are several different sized inlet manifolds, fortunately I have the 38mm one. It seems that whatever I do things are just not right. The engine is the very first, but I have had new liners to match the late Peter Greens last porting, 38mm carb as per last bikes, ignition set to last bikes, as far as I can check no air leaks, pazon ignition system, several sets of ngk plugs, I have even thrown away the purple ignition leads and fitted copper wire. It is defiantly running weak on partial throttle but as I've a small oil leak from the pump and that is in bits to replace seals I am unable to run with higher needle etc, but see when it does run right it will fly.
One day I will be able to just go out on it and enjoy.

Will update after next test's.
