Rob, your photo files are too large and need resizing to less than 3072 KB.

You will need RTA (road traffic act) cover. You can get policies that will cover shows but not use on public highway. You do not need to tax or register the Wheel Horse. If any insurer says you do they are wrong as the showground/rally field is a ‘public place’ not a public highway. NFU and others will provide cover.

Give the slide a good clean before altering any jet settings. With slide removed from carb check it moves freely when throttle lever is moved.

The carb jet is set by the screw at bottom of float chamber. As it ran OK initially I would leave this alone. Does fuel flood from carb? If so the float may have a hole in it causing it to sink and not close needle valve as it should. Engine manual should give details of carb.

I believe the factory records are now held at MERL, Reading University.

plonker, that person is no longer an active member on the forum, website membership expired. If you just place the cursor over the suspicious link it should show where it goes which may give a clue to authenticity of e mail. You are probably right to be suspicious of any unexpected e mail.

Chances are there is not a RAL code for the original colour.

You have the chassis of a rear mounting dump trailer see photo below of mine. The brake is very crude and not much more than a parking brake with the metal pad rubbing on the tyre, it is applied by pressing heel down on the bar, it then locks under the mechanism on the post which is missing from yours. If it is not raining tomorrow I will get some more photos and dimensions of the missing post etc. The tipping body is the same as the front mounting barrow, see extract from sales leaflet below.
