ihws and avb thanks for the input. i sort of knew it was the carby because when it died the first time i got it going again by putting airpressure in the fuel tank and priming. so this worked for a while then no more. the fuel tank was blocked until i put the air pressure in there and woosh straight into the carby. now nothing. so i pulled the carby apart

cleaned it up with high pressure degreaser and blowing all the holes out( a couple were blocked a bit)prime button seems to work now.
