Still worth having a manual for the bike if you are keeping it

So, check everything about the fuel supply that is easy to check first, so that it is all within specification, before taking apart carburettors (for example).

Ah! No wonder it didn't want to start, or run.

Glad you got that sorted. :thumbup1:

Hi Ed. so it turned out there was a fuel pipe not connected. The one which switches on the fuel. As soon as this was plugged in it ran beautifully. Had a good run up the a2 and it goes like a dream . . . Just the paint is all flaking and could do with a re spray but on a very tight budget . . .
A beautiful machine though. Starts pulling at about 8000 revs and goes like a rocket. Engine purrs on Rickover without a splutter and 30,000 on the clock. 1990 model so nearly an antique . . .it has goodridge braided hoses and a full stainless exhaust. .
Will stick a few photos on when I get round to it.
Thanks for your help too. Just learning and enjoying messing about really.
All the best.
Nathan.

Yup... Sounds like the vacumn tube. When the engine turns over, it opens up the fuel tap.

Glad you got it running :thumbup1:
