Hey John
Trouble with the old 'seat of the pants' dyno is that running flat stick in top for any length of time is likely to get you locked up these days!
Witt (or more likely the wiring circuit) seems OK now. Have to assume the problem was the kill switch and possibly a slightly duff ignition switch.
Interestingly it was very cold blooded with the 58 pilots in, needed choke far more often than with the 65s. Have gone to 60s now and have better low down response (what I was aiming for) and starting is now fine too. Carbs are off the bike though- I found the needles (K1s) were on the top notch when I first took them off but I went back to standard middle when I put in new needles and atomisers. Seems not entirely happy so I'm going back to a leaner setting to see how it goes.
Eeeeh, all this fannying around takes me right back to my 180 before I threw the Dells away and fitted something better >
Cheers
