Fresh battery & a splash of Fuel in Nue Red...

Still wont bloody start...Grrrr.

All Vac lines in place & sealed off.

Getting fuel to carbs as did drain screws...

Checked choke is moving ok you can hear it moving both sides...

Gave up before I lost the plot & set fire to it... :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :x

Have you got a decent spark Mac? If you have it may be blocked jets.

Like Duffy I was also thinking about the spark bit, but I couldn't remember if we covered that or not the last time you were trying to fix this issue? :eh:

I will check spark on next visit... Doubt its blocked jets as a refreshed set of carbs was put on it last time...

I might pull the petcock off for an inspection just in case but that's a right faff as it's different to the normal 16lrt one...
