I think it just need a run, but cant as not clutch.

Well I had to turn the plemum screw all the way out to get it to tick over.

It now at 1200 with the screw still out. free revs fine and sounds like it should.

The plugs was a bit sooty also. so running a bit ritch.

I will get some easy start and check for air leeks. ( but thought that would casuse it to run lean. IIRC

any thing else I should try.

am surpized it revs fine, after all this time. took a little coxing to get it started. plus it I think it was very low on fuel, as it died after a few mins and would not start. but started fine after putting another 5ltr's in.

Sounds like the clutch needs a good clout and a long run out yes

I just hope I've not got to take the engine out.

If I have then I think I'll get my mate to do it. just hope he has the time, as I don't

Will try freeing it on the road in the week,
