Thanks again for all the help with this it's great!
Ok that's good to hear about the inlet manifold only having 3 screws, because I was thinking it had been messed around with and I need to go over it properly. But if that's how they are then it might be ok.
Yes the carby does need some new bits, the red needle looks old and faded. Also did they have different coloured poppet valves on later carbies? The poppet valve in this one is coloured yellow I think, and I am also learning about these letters on the end and different settings? I don't think I ever noticed this on the old G4 carby on my full crank? Did these old black poppet valves in the G4's with idle screws have letters and settings on the end of the poppet valves?
With the pull start "O" ring you mentioned NormK, would this cause it to also run fast at idle or something if there was a leak?, because I managed to get it to idle pretty slow with the throttle control even with dumping fuel straight into the spark plug hole.
But yes i'm happy at least it's a runner. I tell ya what when it started it's quite loud, but I don't think it's as loud as my full crank..lol. Also my other powertorque is really loud but I think that has a rusted out muffler! lol
Cheers!
