They are the pressed in jets that stick into the float bowl and I can just about guarantee they are blocked and that is why you are not getting fuel into the engine

If this is a 550 K3 they are a pig to start if left for a while and also need petrol that is less than 2 weeks old

Mine is indeed a pig to start if I leave it for a while. Takes ages for one pot to kick in. Never thought it could be bad petrol but I'll take your advice.
