Interesting- I'll have a fiddle with the limit screw and see if it is simply a case of not being able to engage the pawl in the shifter.
If you hold the shifter over then it shifts onto the 8th sprocket and sits there happily, not chuntering as if it wants to shift at all.
The top jockey wheel sits directly below the sprocket.
The issue being the second you release the shifter it drops back onto sprocket 7.
It's just rather frustrating having 7 gears index perfectly but not the 8th.
