Flat tyre
I use the biggest tyre levers I could find, rim protectors and make sure the tyre is warm. you also need to break the bead, just standing on it should be enough. I had some old wheels and had to drive (carefully) the car over the tyres (which were old and scrap anyway) you will also need lube to slip the tyre back on. I use olive oil soap as petrolium based stuff will affect the tyre. Personally I would just replace the inner tube as they are only £5 or so. drewps

Head light modification
looks like they are strip led's which are made into a circle to go inside the headlamp nacelle around the lamp itself. new BMW cars look similar. i would say they stick on and go on instead of the pilot lamp

Down Pipe tarnish
stainless is that because of the chrome content, alas there is different types of stainless, food grade having the most chrome content thus harder to manufacter and bend/weld/drill etc. I have motad "stainless" which show rust in some parts.

check float bowl height first, maybe that it too low and not supplying fuel. using the choke bypasses the pilot system so I would check for blockages there!! check sparkies if they are wet or white to get an idea what is happening in combustion.
