Managed to get some work done today,

Swapped the key for a switch and button, whilst doing that just thought was there something in the MOT that's states: a steering lock is required if originally fitted,

Anyway got that sorted and the beast sort of runs now, well only on fast tick over, soon as you wind it down a be or start putting the choke in a bit it just cuts out, restarts fine then will just cut out again!!!
Any ideas???

Did that stud turn up? I gave it to J-dub to post on, er, Tuesday? I think.

Yes, sorry russ, forgot to text u to say it did cheers..

No worries, thank James for posting it! Sorry it was ghetto wrapped, all I could find was some electrical tape and a box for an oil filter.

No worries didnt get posted until wednesday in the end as didnt go to the post tuesday after all!!

jets of carburator may be blocked take thrm out and check them. try to make it idle first.could be less fuel in the carburator check the floating device in carb..m

Cheers both of u, I thought it was quite ingeniously wrapped, recycled old car part packaging..

Can't find anything stud wise on fleabay so job for Monday morning try a couple wheel specialists places see if they can come up with owt!!??

Good idea will have a check 2 Moro, will also fit that fuel filter I've been meaning to do for agers....

Is the little electronic thingy on the carb connected to your live feed? My 1220cc ran like a sack of sh1t without it.

That would be the solenoid cut-off for the idle circuit, so hardly surprising that it needed to be hooked up to the ignition.

When the one on our 652 Visa failed, it was possible to fit a standard idle jet as a replacement.
