Hi Larry, and thanks for the idea.  Have had the top off the float chamber, and all seemed well, and as I have fuel coming out of the main jet, the fish hook shaped pipe in the intake and slowing running jet when removed and fuel out of the drain pipe off the manifold, I think fuel is getting that far….

After another suggestion, tried ‘easy start’ sprayed in the plug holes, which resulted in some pops and bangs, suggesting that I have a spark/explosion of some sort, (6 volt + new coil and points maybe not enough to get much reaction, but it was working fine 2 years ago), so I am back to draining the old fuel from the pump onwards and carb/float chamber, and then put new fuel in a can and tube from pump on as per Chris’s suggestion and trying that.

If that fails, I suppose carb off and take a look, but not sure what more I would be achieving, given the above fuel flow…

Regards Mike
