Thought I'd best just check Dave over since last MOT/use was 2018!!
Installed new battery, did pre flight checks and he fired right up!! Rode around in circles on tut yard...musta been windy on the yard as me eyes started watering. 乁( _ )ㄏ
༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
Anyyyways. Other than fuel pish from carb overflow, all ok. Soft wrap on carb didnt fixy, guess need a rebuild kit as there used to be 100s of cheap drz mankini carbs on ebay (as lots swapped for fcrs)...not any more.
Looking forward to finding time for fix n pootle.

Carb off. Very stuck boat foal screws. JIS #2 wouldnt get em. Hot water and centre punch did.
There is a solenoid type thing stuck on the side of the carbs.... wondering if that might not like being dunked in ultrasonic?
Some time to dismantle now required.

Thanks chaps. FCRs the way to go i think. Used to be able to pick up a nearly new Mikuni fur £35/40 as everyone had taken them off from new and fitted FCRs... now even mikuni juans are £100+!!!! FCRs must be helluva lot more now.
Think oil trial none solenoid. Had a read and just need to block up some 'oles is all.
Have asked LH if it can visit him for a bath when nekked!

Yeah. I didn't try to hard as wasnt sure what it was or where it went. Its just sat on a casting below the boat foal and has a grrt big nut on t'other side which should release it all and then has a poipe (also destination bin) that goes to top of carb to dia fra. Diaphrg. Rubber sheet thing. Allows air (which it gets from a separate air box poipe (yup bin)) into top to reduce vacuum in first three gears.
