@Bibio - thanks- I didn't. I figured they were to keep petrol in, not air out so I didn't. If you think that they could be the cause, I will change them before I take it all apart one last time before I torch the thing. I do struggle to understand why - if it is them - they would affect the running when the choke is not in use and why they would give up over winter (but I suppose they have to sometime).

@embee - thanks - I know what you mean. I'll look.

When I start it to ride it, it is very noticeably weak on one cylinder which is much worse if it is a cold start. It can hardly drag itself away on its 1-1/2 cylinders. The problem diminishes as it gets hot which makes me very sure it is weak on the rear cylinder for some reason.

I'll look again...
