Airhead

Nice work, our 'foamy' will be impressed too.

Greetings miss piggle, not from your neck'O'the woods...

loose or corroded battery connection Flat battery..try charging Duff battery ?

If the carb is clean and all the airways are clear I dont see the point of trying to source a new (old) carb, it may be worse than the one you have already? I would do the cheap things first like borrow a compression tester. Your bike is easy to check as theres room to fit it without taking stuff off first. Cant you ask at a local car garage if they will do it for you for a nominal cost...I mean a repair shop of course not a dealer franchise. To me we have finally eliminated the carb as long as 1:your needle is in the right notch with the clip 2: The float height is correct at 21mm? 3: The choke is not passing fuel because of an imprinted rubber seat Do the test of compression next. Like I said before these things can be much more difficult to find than 'bike wont start issues' in my experience.

had the carb off and gave it a good clean. This chap also stated that but in fact he hadnt, I would check out the choke circuit it's basically the same carb

Very nice mate, post up a pic when they're back on.

instead of a hard to find mower lever you could use a mountain bike thumb front derailleur changer...much easier to find? but like you said it depends on having a spring strong enough to return the valve.

what seems to have gone unacknowledged was barkys vaseline tip...?

Might as well check the engine 'earth' to the battery neg and the coil grounding (mounting bolt) should be a dead short
