Yes it has a 009  and I have blocked it off with a pipe and bolt.  I have not been pumping it but will take the air filter off and check if the pump is working.  I will also check the working of the choke

Thanks for the help

Thank you all for your help,  must have been old fuel somewhere in the lines, now starts,  it runs very fast at idle so will try and work out how to adjust.  great to hear it running again

The buggy has never run so well , should have gone for a single carb years ago  next problem is the brake lights are on all the time, i expect after being sat  for so long the switch is clogged,   any ideas?

Check the m/c pushrod's got clearance, it needs a gap of iro 1mm. Also the pedal could be sticking a bit, nothing a squirt of 3 in 1 couldn't sort out.
