    Well, that’s it….

    New fuel in temporary tank, new plugs, leads, coil, condenser, points (and gap seems right), carb float fine, turning over fast with spark, valves’ gaps fine and all doing what they should, suction on intake, and I am sure that it it none of those that are causing grief as it was fine on shut down a while ago.  Most I can get is a blow back once in 20 from carb when I have lost all patience and rules and am playing with choke and accelerator to try and get any reaction or sign of life.

    Think it is now a trailer job to John Gillard, as I have run out of patience (and love).  Thanks for all the previous ideas and help.
