Your engine is a form of Villiers/JAP hybrid , and should have a BV1320 Carb fitted , it most definately has a choke fitted(or at least should have) , have a look at the bottom of the Carb where the air filter pipe would join on , you should see the choke strangler there , the actuator was plastic and prone to breakage.
This Carb does not have a tickler.

Get back to us if you’re still unsure.

Result Alan………never look a gift Horse in the mouth.

Get back to us later when you’ve had the pump done.

Andy.

It may sound a pain , but you’re probably better to remove the Cylinder head to check if your timing is set correctly. Unless some previous owner has had the engine stripped down , and put back together wrong , the timing should not be the issue , but best to check.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

I would have your pump overhauled judging on what you’ve said regarding the excess fuel issue.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

These problems are not always easily solved without “actually being there” , with injector removed and reconnected what sort of delivery are you getting when cranking it over.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Have you blead the system right through , and thoroughly checked there are no air leaks. Is the machine new to you , or have you previously had it running ? .Might sound a silly question , but you’re not lighting the fuse before putting it in.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

I’m gathering this is fitted to a Howard Gem , or possibly one of the larger Cliffords , either way it was by far and away the best engine ever fitted to a Gem.
When you say you’ve had the injector cleaned , was this done professionaly , it needs to be properly overhauled….not just cleaned , my initial conclusion tells me this is your problem.
I’m assuming you are using a starter fuse ??.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Got mine OK , once again many thanks for all the effort.

Andy.

Lignum Vitae (spelling??) , the wood that bowls are made from is a very good “lubricating” wood to use.

Andy.

[andyfrost]

Sorry to hear that , I well know the feeling , my allotment shed was cleared out by some lowlifes a short while back. Two rotavators and a reversible plough went walkies.
