Progress...

Had some time over the easter weekend, cleaned the carb using some help and ideas from a friend, seemed to do the trick and made the linkages smoother and free.

1. Take one bottle of dishwasher cleaner

2. Fill bucket with hot water and mix in the cleaner

3. Dump carb in the bucket and agitate.

Came up a treat, fitted it to the bike after a blow out with the airline and a bit of drying time, connected up a fuel line and prodded the starter button, after a few try's it decided it would start, not for very long but it ran for a few seconds, the carb leaked like the leakiest leaky thing but its went.

Next thing is to take the carb apart and look at the floats and anything else that makes it leak and try again.

Had a play with graphics
