thanks Gary, I recall thinking to myself that bracket is not helping the hose stay on :-)

Any tips or instructions on how to strip a carby down?

I make my living with IT but I am keen to learn more about this stuff now that we are on 5 acres and I am going to have to rely on my equipment more..

And yes, I would have thought this should have been sorted considering the carby was serviced (apparently).. So if you want something done properly you do it yourself, with guidance when required!
