Thanks for this tip. Will do this to see how much fuel is being delivered.
Thanks both. I have done a full carb strip down and replacement of fuel lines, o-rings, float gaskets etc. followed the instructions closely on...
Right, a good night’s sleep and a bit of perspective. Not going to throw the bike into the nearest hedge, yet! Thanks for all the comments...

Ok, I’ve swapped over HT leads and plugs from different cylinders and still no joy getting number 4 to light up. So I’ve ordered cylinder head...
Awesome! Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Ok guys. Some advice. Fuel pump isn’t working. Do I source an alternative or do I refurb with one of the points kits that I’ve found online?...
