Hi John, firstly, thanks for a viable answer to this strange situation, what numbers should I be looking for on the jets & yes the fibre washers are in place. you say about the float chamber ? when I pre fill the float chamber before attempting to start,on full choke, a little fuel will 'spill' from the top of the carb. the CR of the Riccardo head is 40% greater than a standard LC head. could this 'kill' the plug spark, using the NGK's ??? For 27 year my standard starting technique was pre fill carb, full choke, 5-6 swings with the handle, then on with ignition, 95% of the time it fired first time, ( by hand) and became a bit of a party piece at car events, since the "rebuild" it simply refused to start, until desperate measures such as a 12 volt hit to the the s/motor are employed, then it sounds like a box of spanners in a tumble drier.
