Thanks for all your help – it is now working.

So just for information:- the feed to the carb (in my case the small dia tube) goes to the lower brass pipe and the overflow which in my case was the larger dia pipe (return to the tank) goes to the top tube. Its not helped that both brass tubes are the same diameter although the neoprene pipes are different bores. Also when I took it apart, I noticed that there wasn’t a gasket between the carb and the engine, so I made one. I didn’t appreciate that there was a hole to feed the crankcase pressure into the carb, so I added that and Bingo all now works and i will be able to sweep up the leaves when they eventually drop.

thanks again for your words of wisdom
