defo sounds like the carb... get that carb cleaned out and blast some air in there (small tin usually used as keyboard duster), a little fuel in the float bowl for 10 month will go off and go into a jelly like substance-you have sucked that shit through the jets which have very small holes. ill be cleaning mine out after 2 months of standing time. ken

Well that's all the motivation i need, 3 votes for, and from the most active members on the forum, expect a thread to be open at the end of december

i would advise putting some "redex" into your petrol as well after being stood for 10 months the carbs may have some crap in them redex will help to clear it try that before stripping the carbs

Just checking - you say you've replaced damn near everything in the ignition circuit, but I don't see "put a new spark plug in" - have you tried that yet? You may get a spark when holding it against the head, but it may fail under compression, and it's only a couple of quid so probably the cheapest option available....
