so to put a bit of a lid on this saga, I'v replaced the fandangled cleaner with something useful  and because I can never just settle for easy, I decided to make my life hell by seeing if I can get CV carbs to work with the infamous pod filters, I'v got a few ideas and none of them involve bigger bloody jets  |

made a mounting plate for it this aft, so it can easily and quickly be thrown in a vice or similar whenever I want to use it   I'll give the scotchbrite mops a test run tomorrow |

Reccomend you wear appropriate protective equipment when using it or you could end up like this poor old bugger😂😂  |

been having a bit of a play this morning, carbs finally back together (needed some o rings for the accelerator pump jointing tube) and fitted new pilot/mixture screws. order of parts for reference  also made a slight modification to the choke mechanism, I tweaked the circled bit a bit further towards the left hand carb, its now caught by the hook of the main spring and both butterflies fully close and fully open at the same time.  |

not mint, but nice enough for me   I'm really impressed with the scotchbrite mops, they're a bit short lived, but they really shift tarnishing. need my soaps/polishing compounds to arrive now.  |

my only slight gripe (very slight) with machine polishing is its easy to end up a bit too bling  |

Agree you have to polish it often when it dulls😁

There are a few magpies on the forum who love the mirrored look. Bonus is you can also check your hair and tie is straight in it.

had to do the other side to match  also wanted to see just how good the scotchbrite mops are, acquired this yonks ago and wrote it off as too manky, not sure if its poor casting or its just seen too many salty winters but its pretty grim  and an hour later  also took DFS's very good advice and bought one of these visors  |
