Hi super unleaded

I always get my power for the strobe from the + on the coil, is this not correct?










I get it from the alternator terminal; your method probably safer; extra battery maybe a bit of a faff but safer still.

No, thinking about it Hobbler is right.......when is he ever wrong like??!!

Alternator will be charging at 13.5v maybe so a battery sitting on the floor at 12v is better-ish

Good point to both of you....but works for me.

Ok that should eliminate the fuel. Get a can of brake or carb cleaner and spray it around the carb mounting and see if there is a change. If ther is you have an induction leak if not it isn’t . Also if you pull the choke does it get better or worse ? If it’s better you have dirt in the carb check the jets.

Thank you "FR85" for those few kind words---I do occasionally drop a bollock, which people are quick to (quite correctly) point out to me. I try and do my homework prior to putting something down "on paper", especially if "those words" are going to be taken as "what to do" advice
