I certainly didn't take it as a dig mate, I'm glad you're getting it sorted John. Unfortunately, I never have been or never will be a 2 stroke expert, and in the 4 times I had the bike out it ran very well as it was, so I never felt the need to mess with it. I was trying to learn as I went along without wanting to damage the bike!
I did get advice off a friend of my old mans who basically said the same thing: it runs well, it's not running lean, so just get out and learn to ride it. Then worry about getting it nearer to the edge with set up when your lap times come down. And as he was a two stroke racer of some repute in the 70's and 80's who was I to argue!
