HUGE thanks to bu54ter who came to my aid on Saturday when i broke down near his house, some how the spindle leaver on 1 of the carbs snapped in ½
bu54ter collected me & took me to a parts place near by but no joy. Then he phoned hursty67devon who let us use his welder to sort it
Also delux67 who lent me 1 off his carbs incase the weld gave up as i'm running a new engine in & needed to get some mile on the clock.
THANKS fellas

Nice one!
What had gone wrong with the old one when It was opened and was any of it salvageable for this engine?

Siezed main bearing or spun i'm not 100% (read can't remember had a few sherberts
).
Re used heads barrels pistons & rods everything else is new.
The heads had only been on the old engine for 2-300 miles max before it went
Hopefully the old case will machine ok & i'll sell it cheap, also the rockers, the cam & gear.
