1- the carbies need tuning


Talk to Sean Maloney at Twin Cam Engines in Richmond VIC on 9428 5277. He's the guru. He may refer you to a local tuner. If not, he's definately worth the trek from Ballarat to visit.

2- temperature gauge


If the coolant temperature seems high, first check the coolant level. A low coolant level means a given amount of heat energy generated by the motor is dispersed through a smaller volume of water than intended - as a result, that smaller volume of water becomes hotter than a larger volume would.

It is possible that the guage, the temp sender or both are inaccurate after 30 years of wear. An external temperature gauge (thermometer) could be used to verify coolant temperature.

also, the oil light flickers when it idles



Do not ignore this. Check the oil level. Also remember that a lower-than-standard viscosity oil will result in lower-than-expected oil pressures.

Given that the flicker goes away when the engine is revved I'd suppose the pressure is just below the tolerance level for the warning light when at its lowest pressure condition (at idle).

Again, the pressure sensor could be out-of-spec after 30 years of wear. An external oil pressure guage could confirm your actual oil pressures.

we're gonna chuck the 13s that came with it back on (retreads, but black mags)


13" tyres aren't often expensive.
