:icon_couch:Thanks for welcome messages. Been a complete clown recently and for those who are poor of sight a few tips.
1. don't connect the breather hose to the fuel cock as it means that you will only have two carbs and two wet plugs and the revs won't pass 2 thou then it will die!!! After a few try this and that The large hammer came from the sky and DOH!!!! refitted all pipes correctly it runs but not brilliant checked air breather at rear full of petrol HMMM... Out with the air cleaner and air box filling with petrol drip drip. Separate air box from carbs accidently disconnect vacuum a wee couple of spitbacks and.... Kaaaboomm flames.. but only small Airbox now not full of petrol!!!. Turns out when delivering petrol via braether hose it has filled sump with fuel which was pumping out crankcase breather to A-box.. Change oil and filters new plugs balance carbs, all good and sweet

2. Miagi say always wear glasses when pulling your hose.
