Brilliant explanations there thank you!
Grumpy, I didn't take the carb apart as the perished lines were on the other side of the fuel filter so nothing should have got through,,, he hopes!! But yes, worth taking apart and cleaning!
As for the lights, I did not realise up to 100 watts could be powered by it!
I did wonder why the Greenfield wiring diagram showed a wire coming out of the ignition switch for the lights, still not sure which wire that would be on it, but I am like you, I would rather not accidentally leave the lights on after switching off while I go and have a cup of tea and come back to a flat battery with no pull start!!
