Cheers Goody, I think I will go for recovery - most expensive game of rugby ever! Almost worth it :/ I should get it back tomorrow. Tried that, also blocked any vacuum tubes with the filter off, and that helped a bit. After it warmed up a bit and I blocked the hoses it would idle at 1200 rpm, I then detached the fuel cut out solenoid, and it made no difference what so ever, eve though you can hear it click. So Im right in thinking, the solenoid could still be stuck, or more likely I didn't clean the carbs properly and the slow jet is blocked?
