Update: have now received a s/h sender via Fleabay and it had to be stripped to make good the wiring and carp from fuel residue.
The ignition pick ups have arrived from Electrex - quality is said to be good.
Engine is being re-assembled but I'm told there's more carp from the fuel system so carbs are having to be stripped and cleaned again.
New fuel filter (the 4th I have bought in 2 years of ownership) is on order as well as another Mikuni fuel pump rebuild kit (2nd one in 3 years) and as previously recommended by some on her a manual fuel tap is being plumbed in the the cheap little OE vacuum one cannot be trusted. Well I say cheap -they are not if you price up a new one!
Bike is however reported to be running on both pots again at last.
Going to speak to my mate later for the full details.
