At this point I was losing the will to live, I had one other spare carburetor, logic ruled that it would not work, but eh I was beginning to think some sort of dark magic was involved here and I was willing to try anything.
Result..... NO DIFFERENCE! then thought I'd swap to the carbs original jet needle as a last ditch attempt, and...BINGO ..IT WORKED
confused but contented
