The missing parts are the choke assembly. Not really needed as you can get it started by flooding the carb with the tickler. Once you've had it running for a minute or so it will be warmed up enough to idle.

Hi Sticky,

As said, the bike will run without the choke parts once warm but make sure that the hole in the carb top for the choke cable is sealed.  If not then air will get sucked in causing a weak mixture.
There are BSAOC branches that meet at Yarm and Old Snydale, Near Pontefract.   They look a bit far from you though.

Dave.

There may be the answer to the question if the carb top hole isn't sealed.

Sticky

Ah, yes, hole is sealed.  Bike is gone to be looked at by someone who knows more than me.  Lets see what he concludes.
Many thanks for everything one and all.  I have certainly learnt a lot even though the problem is not sorted yet.
