Thanks for all your help. I finally managed to get the old clunkerbunk started today and after a few minutes coughing and farting it seems to be running well.
I went for the old try everything at once technique.
I drained about 1/2Litre of the old fuel through the carb I could get to. Then I added 5 litres of super unleaded and 1/2 bottle of octane booster. Then I trimmed the HT leads back about 5mm and replaced the plug caps. Finally I hooked the battery up to car and turned it over with some “easy start” squirting in the air intake. A voilà I now have a 23 year old monster ticking over. Thanks again for all your help and advice.
