Change the oil then plugs out and spin the engine to clear the cylinders after fixing the peacock?

Yup, good idea!

That’s only fixing 1 out of at least 2 or more problems though. Float valves still not stop petrol flow at proper float height. So mixtures will still be too rich. Plugs will foul and engine will barely run.
