Why ? The yanks aren't that interested in pommy bikes.Then there is the pain of shipping. Are they Brough Superiors?

I rode many thousands of miles with my girlfriend and had no trouble with handling or power? Maybe your rear shocks were knackered or too soft?

I had one and it was a very reliable bike. looks like you need a new seal behind the points plate on yours. Make sure you clear the clutch plates before you engage a gear if left standing for awhile. And make sure there is freeplay on your rear master cylinder. If not the rear wheel gradually locks up after awhile.

Is the engine total loss oiling or does have a plunger pump?

I work on Chronometric instruments as a hobby. Just want to see the face and the drive type.

Tight valve clearances wont make it idle fast???Make sure your slide is closing properly even though you said it was, otherwise it must be an air leak or radically worn slide. Idle speed should be set at full advance and when warmed up.

Easy enough to shorten them to correct length using some inner sleeving and brazing.

Obviously an all alloy T100 engine but it's so long since I've had a Rigid Trumpy I can't tell if It's a Trumpy frame at all? The front engine plates don't look right so possibly isn't Trumpy.
