Fueling affairs

Slow progress, I've got the replacement oil pressure switch, cleaned up the oil cooler adaptor, and repositioned as recommended in a CVH tuning manual. Gave the oil cooler a good flushing, plenty of black treacle :-).
While removing the carbs, 2 of the studs came out rather than nuts coming off. So suspicious of threads. On close inspection, UNF portion of most studs have a damaged thread, and the MISAB 'O' ring mounting plates are all perished, so no wonder the carburation varies. :-(. So more parts on order, and hopefully can put it back together, and will run better.
Also took the opportunity to do some cleaning around the engine bay. Plenty of parafin, and rags, just no source of ignition please !
