I took the carby appart. (Pg 106-112 of the Owners Manual) and found a large piece of aluminium foil stuck to the float needle valve.
So I completely cleaned everything, as there was traces of a really fine sand in the bottom of the float chamber too.
I also found the float valve was engaging at about 20mm not the 13 recommended, so without a Vernier caliper, used a toothpick & a steel ruler to set this correctly. (Pg 111 of the Manual )

She purrs like a kitten now. Also got my hands on some "Liqui-Moly 4T Fuel System Cleaner" and threw that in the tank for good measure. Thank you to you all for your help.

Whoo Hoo I'm back on the road. :2tup:
