Thanks Max,
I've pulled everything I can think of off and cleaned and reassembled. And finally, I was able to get this thing to run.... Very roughly.
It doesn't like to start with the choke closed and surges wildly but I still call it a win.
I may have damaged the carb main jet o ring of the washer for the main jet screw as it now leaks fuel but hopefully that's an easy fix for the future.
Time to get the carb tuned and see if this thing actually wants to cut.
Thanks to all those who gave input, much appreciated
