Interesting selection, thanks for posting. Remember, Aus. dollars are about 1.8 to the pound.

Just do what we used to do in the 60s. Take it to bits, put it back together and see what's left over.

Haven't you got one of those posh 4 wheel motorbike things for cruising around your acres?

Keeps the board ticking over if nothing else. A bit like "what do people think of a so and so".

Thinners and air line? I thought I told you to do that several posts ago.

I had a 1938 MSS for a brief period in the 70s. I don't recall any particular starting routine. A good kick was all that was needed.

Possibly someone tried to fix some sort of vent to each one. They do tend to be leaky if pressure builds up due to worn valve guides etc.

Soak 'em in thinners for a couple of days and use a high pressure air nozzle.

Funny you blokes should mention that, I find any humour severely lacking on sites these days. Considering that 50% of posts are rubbish, I would have thought more laughter would be appropriate.

If the idle screw has no effect you've got a blocked fuel or air passageway in the carb body. Probably a tiny drilling in the idling circuit. Plus check what Rex said as I've no knowledge of Jap bikes. Good luck.

Well done mate. So it's just two smokes that you're NBG at.

Club volunteers are essential and do a wonderful job. They can, however, get very prickly when pressed and who can blame them.
