It lives!
Itsme:
Thanks to all of you gents who have been so generous with your advice and encouragement, not to mention patience, I had another go at cleaning the carb on the MM today and with the help of a little WD40 as a starting fluid it chimed into life! What a fabulous moment. There is a lot of fettling and tidying to do but now I have the enthusiasm back.
Thanks once again all, I think without your help the MM might just have been consigned to a dark place.

The first two words of Kevin’s post say it all Ian. Proper chuffed for you, perfect timing too (see what I did there 🧥🚪🚕🤦???) nicely give you time to get all the other bits n bobs sorted ready for the clocks going forward and those lovey warmer days sneaking in. Great stuff... the MM rides again 👍
Cheers, Michael
Itsme:
Thanks chaps. I am looking forward to many more miles on the little beggar when I have finished fettling.

Bit of a false dawn by the looks of things, though bad and good. I tried the MM this morning and no go unless I used starter fluid (WD40) so at least now I can be confident that it is a fuel fault. When I can be bothered I will buy a cheap Chinese carb and also refresh the fuel in the tank which being E10 is rumoured to lose its volatility quickly and the stuff in the tank is now a couple of months old.
One step backward but another forward. Remind me, why do we like old bikes? Just off for a toddle on Newzuki.
