So sorry to hear this Ted, as others have said, I've never met you but have frequently chatted on here with you so know what a genuinely lovely bloke you are.  Wishing you both the best possible outcome.

Are there still ongoing problems?  I've noticed when searching the results come with a lot of the letters replaced with symbols making reading them near impossible.

I wrote a big long post about my mums Raleigh that we have now inherited but it disappeared 😮‍💨

Id never thought of a wall paper stripper, that's a good idea.  I've never smelt old fuel this foul before.

I've picked up a spare tank for my 550, it's got ancient stinking fuel left in it and I can't get the last bit out before doing any work on it.  Other than diluting it with fresh petrol what else can I use or do to get it out?

All jets, needles etc are the correct size with the Keihin 'K' stamped on them.  I wonder if it's a blocked passage but they all appeared to be clear.

Mines an F Ken on 069a carbs with all original jets etc (some bits supplied by you to replace damaged items) I've adjusted the floats to the specified 21mm? from memory, it will definitely start happily with no choke whatsoever even in cooler weather.

So is that why I have a hanging idle yet also symptoms of running rich like sooty plugs and strong fuel smell?  Sounding like another carb off job
