Many painful hours at home running up in the garden and frustrations up at the field with no joy adjusting low needle etc.
However whilst I was packing up on Sunday at Cashmoor Phil Ford said in the past he had had to raise the fuel supply line above the tank before going down into the carb nipple as it was siphoning fuel into the engine, the engine is mounted up side down and carb nipple facing downwards. So tonight I got a longer fuel tube and did just that. Within 10 mins of adjusting the low end needle I had the motor nicely idling and great pick up with throttle increases.
Just need to hope it’s still behaves when I next visit Cashmoor.
