Thanks everyone for coming back so quickly. It's a "fast road" 2 bearing engine with Phoenix splash fed crank. The front lip was all done at the same time - admittedly 22 years and about 120,000 miles ago. It's noisy at tick over, under load and on the over run unless the clutch is down.
Once it starts, there's plenty of power and it cruises happily all day at 50 - 55 MPH giving about 38 MPG at the same time.
I'm not too worried about the starting issue as that will be just swapping bits around until it sorts itself out. I'm off to start having a look n a few minutes to see if anything is obviously amiss in the clutch / flywheel area and then see where we go from there...
Best wishes,
Nick
