Rebuilt another carb just in case although I don't hold out much hope.  I will try and find time to fit it tomorrow and see what happens.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks again.

Not this time! ;D

I couldn't give a jot, but there will be a lot of deflated ijiots, guffing a load of old tripe for weeks about ..... YAWN!

Love the image.

Good health, Bill

Felling dead and dying English elms full of bark beetles and then having to try peel the butts and burn wet elm bark in the heat! Mountains of tyres and sump oil to get it going and huge bonfires to try and get rid of the beetles, so that they wouldn't fly to non-infected trees.

Then over to the Isle of Man, a different world. Warm, but no blistering heat, rain and altogether a much better climate, swimming off Peel beach and the MGP, with the Manx 2 Day Trial. Following the latter on the Ducati 450, with clip-ons and the Ford Escort ignition set-up, on full advance!  ::) Must of been bonkers!  ;) Still am!  ;D

Good health, Bill

 ::)  Wry smile and thank you for reminding me to sort my garlic out. Hardneck variety from Kazakhstan, pungent and flavoursome, with a bit of a bite and that's afore the curry spices!  ;)

Good health, Bill

Thanks again Ian and Steve
tried again with another cdi with exactly the same result.  I've just rebuilt another carb to see if that makes any difference.  Next is to try and remove that very old spark plug which will almost certainly break off so head off which will mean that I can finally fix that rattling timing chain.
Thanks again.
Richard.

My SRX would stop every so often changed the ECU and it was fine after. Also have you checked the choke isn't stuck on

I don't know what the figures indicate, but for my money I'd try one of the pit bike ECUs as I mentioned. For less than a tenner what can go wrong? Yes I know.......

I seem to remember you've had a lot of problems with this bike dating back some years Richard.
