Then it has an accelerator pump which are known to leak. I block them off always cause they are no good they always fail. Clean it try it and get back to me with how it runs and we can go from there.Yes, it's got a plug there, not a hole.

There are some cheap rubber ones available if you are interested.Yeah, I'd expect Halfords to sell it, but at Halfords prices!
Cool will go 'morrow...Yeah, I'd expect Halfords to sell it, but at Halfords prices!
That is indeed the accelerator pump carb.This is my carb...

so, yeah, I'll see how we go with a carb clean, pray my crank seal + piston change was good, then cry out for help if still stuck!!!
Ok!!!!!!!! You got some spares there!!That is indeed the accelerator pump carb.
Hey check these out.View attachment 432824
I do have some spares but not many all of them ran.Ok!!!!!!!! You got some spares there!!
Is it 6;30Anyway, I'll see if I can get the carb cleaner, tomorrow... but now.. the take-out kebabs are here... it's tea-time!!!!
The needles can be a different color as long as the size is right it will work.So I did drive into halfords in Huntingdon and get some wynns carb cleaner. And yes, it was halfords prices - seven quid. I strippht ed the carb and changed the meter and pump diaphram. I blasted all I could with the cleaner, including the holes where the H and L screws go. I had to remove that mad limiter cap, so the H screw is now at 1 turn out (I think that corresponds with "basic setting").
Was going to change needle, but the old one looked ok. Also I noted that the old one looks like it's cone is a made of some slightly different material than the new one, so I thought it may be best to not change it. The new needle looks like it's steel but the old one kind of darker material (rubber???). I've done a piccie, with the older one (which I put back in) on the right...

Have to say that the carb didn't actually seem that dirty. Now putting it back on soon.
I also wondered about the gap setting for the ignition module. I did measure it with a car feeler gauge before disassembly, and got the gap to be about 0.28mm. Things is , I've forgotten exactly how I measured it. I know I'd got the flywheel with the N S marks next to the module, but now I've forgotten whether I had the gauge between the wheel and the raised bit of the module, OR between the wheel and the flat/smooth main body of the module. Does the 0.28mm gap between the raised bit of module and smooth surface of N S part of the wheel seem ok?
thanks

I just use a business card to gap the coil. That always works on them.
When are you starting it up soon?
Turn the flywheel so the magnets are not pulling in.It's 3.10pm in uk...
So for the gap, should I just loose the ig mod screws, move it to the left, slot in a card, move mod to right, then tighten back? And all is good?
As for trying to start up, maybe later today, but probably monday or later in week... don't want to rush it!
Cheers, thanks.Turn the flywheel so the magnets are not pulling in.
Move the coil to the left further from the flywheel, then tighten screws.
Then line up the magnets and put the business card between.
Then loosen the screws and let the magnets pull the coil closer and the card will gap it right.
Tighten screws and pull card out.
What do you mean? The carb wont go on and the choke rod jammed? Could be the position of the master control put it on run not choke.Cheers, thanks.
Currently stuck with the carb. The fuel is in, the throttle rod in, but the choke rod is being a pig. Should I retract the carb a little or twist the choke rod a bit? Help!
Just put the choke on and off and see if it works.So I've got the rod in through the hole on the shaft that the spring hooks over (the manual however shows it on the other hole... or so it seems??).
This is what I,ve done so far, does it look like the correct hole:
