Give ALLEN'S a bell  , they should know size and type , bleed non bleed . Pilots generally make it hunt on tick over and fluffy just over . If you are suffering this your gonna have to pull the carbs but . . . . You could try draining the carbs and filling bowls with carb cleaner  then running . Got me out the sticky stuff on more than one occasion

But... don't we all NEED to pull all that stuff and clean/inspect it once in a while ----- just for the sheer fun of it?  

Hopefully I'm not the only one that doesn't mind that (too much!).  ;)

you can buy fuel stabiliser online, they sell it at machine mart and som diy stores too. it doesnt remove the vile ethanol content, but it does prevent it from evaporationg and thus spoiling the remainder. handy if it gets left standing for a couple of weeks.

 

thanks mate
