Sorry lads, i failed to mention i have stripped and cleaned the carbs and fitted new keyster carb kits,only thing i didn't replace was the slow jets but i blew them out with compressed air,i have a new points setup here so i might try it out to get it to run,will get back to you if i have any luck.

I recently bought a 78 f2,it had stood in a garden shed for over 10 years,since getting it i have been trying to get it in running condition,i fitted a david silver elec ignition,new battery,new carb insulators,new airbox rubbers,changed oil,new plugs,i have spark on all four plugs,should i go back to points,i fitted the electronic ignition as per instruction and have the little red light on as the engine is spinning,it fired earlier with easystart for a few seconds,anybody know what should be my next step,,,,
Thanks in advance
