    OK Well thanks for that, but being new to this bike I thought the so so called choke pull out dealt with that.

    OK many thanks for the replies, Its all coming together now. This is a really friendly site and can learn lots here, which is good as I am new to my T100 and really love it, will never sell, so there will unfortunately be several more silly to you but serious to me questions. Many thanks again all.
    Mallywoods.

    Always had my America tickover slightly higher, stopped the stalling problems. Not
    sure if affects the standard Bonnie's as much as the America/Speedmasters.

    I reckon the 360 degree motor is happiest at 1050-1100 rpm for clean pull away and minimum effective alternator speed.
