It's only started once in the last 10 long days so difficult to say if it runs ok.
After the valve grind it started and ran fine for around 15 minutes. Then took it up the road and it stopped never to start again. Rechecked compressions - OK, and checked all timing ecetera. I have the filter off so can see the choke is closing oK but agree it could be flooding as when I remove the carb there is a pool of fuel - not water - at the bottom of the inlet. Manifold. But what causes the flooding? Just stripped the carb yet again and everything is clear. It's trying to start but can't make it!
Could do with a new carb although this has been overhauled.
