The temp push rod is doing its job and the bike seems to be running
fine-ish...It seems to pull well and idle well and cruse well in 2nd 3rd
most of the time...Then all of a sudden it gets a tad rougher running and
may or may not tend to stall. A bit of time on the carb air mixture screws
seems to have helped? I still think she is running a tad rich as I get
white smoke out the pipe and wet black plugs...
I have 32mm Amal's MK1's running w/o filters and an open pipe with 210
mains...what do you think a good first adjustment would be to lean it out
JUST a TAD? As I said the stand in push rod seems to work acceptably with
just a bit of exhaust popping on the
over run..Which may be the rich mixture or a response to the less then
perfect push rod I am using...Its end being less the perfectly round.
As far as the leak goes more testing with powder had determined that the
lower ft exhaust push rod tube seal was contributory to the leak at the
front of the cylinder. The other 3 sets of push rod seals are also
misting a bit, they are next....I dug the offending seal out and replaced it
and went for a ride...No leak .....
Ahh the difference a day makes....
Cheers,

Hi Eric,
Just a thought.
1.) sounds like you are burning oil.
2.) backfire on the overun could probably mean a loose exhaust nut.
3.) if it´s the front nut that´s loose, this is probably where your oil on the mag cover is coming from. (took me 3 months to find this leak on mine (no popping) but my oil was on the front mudguard. Thought at first it was coming from the damper, but it was black )
