        @giles - I can only speak for the states. But VP fuel makes non-ethanol gas. Also I would check any place that sells small engine parts etc. Usually I've seen 5gal cans of it.

                        Hey!

                        the one i've been working on the most is the SR500… i got so close the other day but still no luck making it run. It's got to the point now where i'm not sure what to do. I personally think the carb needs cleaning but that's my very unprofessional opinion. It's definitely sparking but and it revs for a few seconds then cuts out. That's what makes me think it's the jets being clogged up... but i'm sure you'll have more insight than me.

                        You going to come down and see us?

                          it sounds like the jets ,you will have three a main , a needle and a pilot jet , take the bottom of the float bowl and spray it with carb  cleaner it is better to take the carb right off as the jets screw in .
                          i am not going to be able to get down for the next month or so as .
                          next weekend its the trip out .
                          weekend after i  am on holiday .
                          then i have the grandchildren
                          then i am off to japan .
                          let me do a bit more research and together we will get it sorted

                              Glemseck is so much more than sound.
                              It is a shark tank. Hope that IH Japan crew and Gosport will love it.

                                  My birth year is 1957.    We saw one of these trundling around at Glemseck and @Sam  and I fell in love (well. I did).

                                  I just won a 1957 model on eBay for the princely sum of GBP686…..I may start collecting them.....

                                      Sure you didn't overpay by £20! 😉

                                      Looks an interesting little machine, and should be rideable on a CBT.

                                          G. What type of carb is on the bike? Not an expert myself, but my brother is a bike-nut  & could ask him for advice if you want.
