A beautiful machine though. Starts pulling at about 8000 revs and goes like a rocket. Engine purrs on Rickover without a splutter and 30,000 on the clock. 1990 model so nearly an antique . . .it has goodridge braided hoses and a full stainless exhaust. .
Will stick a few photos on when I get round to it.
Thanks for your help too. Just learning and enjoying messing about really.
All the best.
Nathan.

Yup... Sounds like the vacumn tube. When the engine turns over, it opens up the fuel tap.
Glad you got it running
