Some testing yesterday suggested sticking valves and a bit of redex in the carb didn't fix it so I popped the head off to find this:
Looks like the bores are good with no discernable wear. The clean, stamped pistons speak to a rebuild I assume so I'm hoping to clean up this carboration and the valves and run it.
Comments welcome, as are cleaning tips!
I've absorbed a bit through osmosis over the years but I'm still very much a rank beginner.
Both inlet and outlet valves seriously grubby.
You'd not believe it has a new tank, new fuel, cleaner additive and I cleaned the fuel lines thoroughly...
