[QUOTE="b.l.hayward@tesco.net, post: 27052, member: 865"] Many thanks for thoughts...The carb in question (No1 cylinder) has been vapour cleaned and flushed (by me) with a petrol squirter and has not been used before by me. But of course there could still be a solid blockage in the pilot somewhere but I did blow through it and it seemed clear. As to float level, this is fixed in relation to the level of the main jet orifice by virtue of the design, isn't it - or are you saying that it could still be wrong because of crud manufacturing tolerances? I guess swapping the carbs (cylinder 1 to 2 & 2 to 1) would probably be the best test at the moment? Does anybody have the needle number - just in case! [/QUOTE]
