Yep,never use any plastic fuel line that can be melted in a few secs with heat.Use proper black rubber fuel line ,or copper tube.The Amal carb that never leaked fuel or flooded has not been made yet.

Well we have progress. Firstly yes apologies it's rubber fuel line and it's now fitted left over night to return to a small, 50p sized oil leak on the mat happy with that. Fuel added and now no life on the kick. What I do get is every now and then a small pop and puff of smoke from the carb? Any ideas gents? Thanks in advance as always

Also if I can add I've never done timing or points before so be kind hehe

Hi,

OK bizarrely came down this morning set the points kick and nothing no pressure to the kick start checked the spring hadn't come loose behind the plate and it's OK taken clutch side off and nothing no pressure just spins the clutch? Any ideas gents?

Your missus couldn't sleep and came down for a fiddle?

[Pedrobsa]

I don't think your far wrong rex haha. Well after a half day of tea swearing more tea and a ride on my working bike I came back put her back together to rethink low and behold she kicked over haha! Such a sweet sound all 3 seconds of it? She died again and wouldn't kick after investigation I think she's not taking fuel in perhaps the tickler pulls fuel into the carb as it comes out onto my finger but it will not go until I use some start ya !"£%^% spray on her then she pops loudly runs then dies
