So last thursday I finally got the CG running again (turns out the points had closed up, no idea how )
It's been running fine up till today this week and I was really chuffed, thinking it was finally working.
But halfway to work the engine suddenly packs in and I have to pull to the side of the road, started up again no problem but now it loses power and almost dies if I go above half throttle.
I was thinking possible carb issues again, but I had cleaned the entire fuel line (including the tank, which I lined with POR-15) and it's not done many miles (about 30), surely not enough to clog up? ____________________ Hastings Direct, Scum you say? |

Just had a look at the carb during lunch, fuel is leaking out the back, so air must be getting in somehow.
Going to see if I need to rethread the back screw as well (didn't originally because it was fine and it's a blind hole) ____________________ Hastings Direct, Scum you say? |
