Is it the rubbing chain problem that you mentioned in an earlier post asking for local help?
Since Somerset is 60 miles wide x 30 miles deep maybe going to the Bristol section is too far, even if trailering the bike there (or to a Hants section meet?).There's always something needing attention on our old bikes so perhaps it would enable you to make contact with (and learn from?) a willing helper who is based nearer to you than Bristol.
Failing that, bring it to a club event e.g. the Jampot in Wales where there will be a few who would be willing to run through any issues with you.
Or as Rob (ajscomboman) has said, take to him for help.

thanks for responding, will draw up a list of issues! as to the issue of chain rubbing on primary case, it turns out that the spacer behind inner case was non existent! new one on order!
