What cams were they?
In the early 80's Andrews had some 2x and 8x grinds where the sprocket flange mount bolt holes were drilled of center. A small piece of the flange would break off.

They were STD Kawasaki MK2 cams.
With all the mods, bored out carbs etc i thought it wise to start with the std ones so there weren't too many changes fighting each other when initially setting it up.
Once i get the head welded and sorted i'm dropping in the Norris one's i bought.

Engine all back together, it started first kick and ticks over nicely.
It is running in the pic honest!
A little smokey on the over run but that should clear after a few miles ( if it doesn't then those cheap replacement rings are rubbish and i'll be inserting a set of wiseco's).
Had a short 10mph ride along the path and my fulcrum clutch works real well with it biting around half way in the lever travel with one finger operation.
A few pic's of the wiring etc I was gonna post before the camshaft incident.
Simple wiring in the tail with main fuse on insulated spades
Dyna coils converted to spade fittings with screwed on surface mounts
Rest of the wiring , horn and reg/rec just fits under the tank
Riders eye view of the Danmoto speedo. It's very clear but couldn't get a decent shot with the camera.
Just a few snagging jobs to do, a rear guard for the carbs, a bit of paint here and there and apart from sorting the jetting etc it's done

Really sorry about the engine problems. No one wishes that kind of thing on any one. Especially with the hours into your bike.

zed,
break looking bike. I am glad you got her sorted out and running, hopefully the weather breaks so you can get some riding in.
I sent you a pm about your carb boring mods.
THanks
