OK, I have finally got the fuel hose sorted out and left it to see if the fuel leaks out. and it does!
from around the bowl gasket and look like also from where the air filter "tie down" rod comes down through the air intake into the bottom of the carby body.
now when I look in to the air in take I can see fuel in there so I guess that means that the whole needle/float thing isn't doing it's thing.
So what's next? do I buy the carby kit and hope that replacing all that fixes the problem?
