Ha Ha!. Must admit I wondered about this too.
Sounds out there indeed.
A bit like, "I filled my fuel tank with raw sugar and metal swarf, then picked my nose and rubbed it in my eyes".
Hope you are happy with the project Bluey.

New tyre time.

15 hours ago

Was cleaning and putting away some recently used sockets in the shed when I noticed that the inside of the old Bell open face was growing mould. I know the cure for that so I sprayed some vinegar in there, wiped it out and pulled the Sportster out, checked tyre pressure and hit the start button. It cranked but didn't fire after a few repeats. Noticed that the inline fuel filter was empty so figured the strainer on the Golan fuel tap was blocked again. Took the air filter cover off for a bit better access, looked good and clean in there, no mayonese from the engine breather. Undid the fuel line from the tap and clean fuel pissed out. OK look downstream. Took the line off the downstream end of the filter and blew into it, ah the pucker up taste of petrol.
There was a slight pop from in the carb and it was clear to blow through. Probably a stuck float needle. Put it all back together, turned the tap on and fuel filled the filter, it started so off and out for a couple of hours.

Filter full of fuel now

All clean

In the park across the road from the Taromeo
