Re: carb cleaninghi
right, done it all, fired up ok on choke, then when i switched choke off it wouldnt restart unless i held it flat out and even then it would only tick over with choke on or off? WHAT HAVE I DONE?lol, ive got a feeling the pumps playing up again,i put permant live straight to the pump and would only come on every now and again, think maybe theres a bad connection inside

Re: carb cleaninghi
yea, looks like a white coffee. if it has it means yer head gasket has gone which can lead to running probs. the oil , if u look in the viewing window will be creamy. take a gander.

Re: carb cleaninghi
gotta take the manual as red. if its good enought for the kwak boffins then float height should do us just nicely
