You have to use square brackets in BBC James.
Unstructured lists work well.

Was having a play and failed miserably. I forget you are the master Jedi

Re the leaking carb, it's not always float adjustment or a suspect valve......when you have the float bowl off, take a very careful look at the thin brass overflow pipe, they have a habit of splitting along their length, it can be quite hard to see......it took me a while to find it on my K0, but when it happened to another carb it was the same thing.
Clean it up with a fibreglass brush or similar and a tiny amount of solder, just enough to fill the crack will fix it......(low temp modelling solder was very easy to use) ......permanently thus far, and mine was repaired about four or five years ago....check the overflow is still clear and you're good to go.
No idea if the F1 has clip on float bowls, but if so, it beats taking the carbs off......

The same can happen with the brass tube that goes up into the tank from the petrol tap for some reason.
