When I got it started with the Start ya Bastard it ran until I turned the fuel tap off. When I started it by putting it down the plug hole it only ran for a few seconds. I gave the carby a decent clean out with carby cleaner and then used the air-compressor to clean all the gunk out. I may have bent the throttle cable a little when I tried to re-install it after the carby clean, not easy to re-install. Can't see any little rod on the cylinder so assume that it's missing, thanks for pointing that out.
