Have you had the ignition timing checked and/or made sure the clamp is tight on the dizzy?

I would double check valve clearances as well, just in case one of the lock nuts has worked loose, because that definately makes it sound like a van!

I second that.

To change the inlet did you replace the exhaust gasket and was it ok before you changed it ?

hey matey, well some good news! its OK! i was panicking for no reason

has a tune up today, needle profiled, carb tweaked, in the end it was kicking out 61.9bhp and 81lb torque, the noise was down to the dizzy, the clamp holding it in was loose! runs VERY smooth now and ALOT better!

money well spent i would say!

thanks very much for the input fella and thanks to vally46 for putting up with me! thank you very much dude!
