Just to let you know hopefully problem now sorted :)
Double checked carb and atomiser was nearly fully undone,causing float needle to stay in the atomiser ie not drop down.
I`m off to mersea at weekend so we`ll find out if its ok. Still not 100% sure but we`ll soon find out.
I`ll post back here after the weekend with my findings, hopefully positive. :D :D
cheers for all your help Ian.
