ok you could call yesterday the day of disasters!! fired it up in the morning planning on a test drive and it would idle but not rev over 3k with out stalling. went through wiring and everything 3 times had the carbs in bits etc etc cos it was like it was over fueling to death! eneded up trying to run it out of a jerry can (couldnt see how the fuel had gone off in that time) drained the carbs and it ran mint!!!!! so drained some off the tank and was a water mix! from when id cleaned the foam!
eventually managed a test drive down the alley (sat on a bucket)!! and the clutch slave over exerted itself and snapped the end off the clutch arm and rod so going to have to make a stop for that and put a strong spring on it so it returns properly
