I'm still confused.
If fuel evapouration from the float bowls is preventing easy starting (as happens to all carbed monsters), why would draining the float bowls be an effective cure ?
Surely that would simply worsen the problem ???
In fact I believe that Dookbob used to do exactly the reverse, ie he used a syringe to inject fuel into the float bowls via the drain tube to refill them fully.
He later fitted a manual priming pump to do the same job ... (there's a thread in the archive somewhere).
Me, I don't bother. I merely keep pressing the starter until it fires.
If its been standing unused for a week or so, it usually splutters for a short while until the float bowls top themselves up.
Its done that since I first bought it, when it was virtually brand new.
However, when its used regularly it starts very readily, almost seeming to anticipate my thumb as it approaches the starter button, and runs cleanly straight away.
