Progress update
Carbs stripped and figured out where air goes in the pilot circuit or in 3 carbs wasn't going as the circuit was blocked. Borrowed works ultrasonic cleaner and all are now clear (amazing tool - never used one before so regret not doing this on the initial rebuild )

Once new jets arrive this week will get all back together and hoping for big improvement in running
Could give a description of where to clean the idle circuit

Cheers for the reply but that's what has me confused it's a light activated ignition from what I can gather so I can't use a strobe.
