well they use a foam or something now that shouldn't soak up petrol, but every now and then it happens ???
they will have a look and get a something back to me that works by Thursday... I hope lol

So what are you showing at the show at herne bay (I dint even know there was one down there??)
 
OK big catch up to round off the saga!
Well most of everything was changed and updated... the Smoking carb was replaced and is now on the engine and running like a dream. the zenith copy was working as well so that's back on the shelf as a back up. The main problem turned out to be a duff coil (very weak spark) and a suspect champion plug. The drive to the MOT station was a pleasure and everything was going well until 3 areas of rust and a rumble that was put down to a wheel bearing stopped play :-(
So now welding done, bearing changed (still have a rumble so need to find that) But we have a MOT !

Many thanks to everyone that has helped with ideas and suggestions, its been a great help :)
