Quick update............
.......for anyone interested!
Glad to hear that Darryl/Toecutter is sorted out; for myself, I still need to get the spark plug out to check the ignition (a whole story on my own thread!). I don't yet have the right spark plug spanner, which seems to be a tad specialist, to fit under the frame.
In the meantime, I have run quite a bit of fuel out of the drain screw on the float bowl and it is perfect - no muck showing at all. Thanks for the advice about the choke etc. All very useful as and when/if the carbs have to come off the bike. I certainly won't be doing that until the spark is assured though!!
As a point I could not get a pipe onto the drain of the bowl (no room for that against the oil tank) so I used a bit of tin/cooking foil as a makeshift funnel and ran the fuel off into a jamjar.
My fiddling with the pilot jet was after the poor starting appeared - pretty recent in fact and was based on other advice in my thread.
You can tell from the above that the bike still won't start; glad I am not on the Niger at the mo!!
Cheers,
Dave
