Yes Charlie I got the renewal form , but on checking to pay , it says I’m paid until 2014 , hence my other post on this.

Thanks Andy.

John , your problems I would say are Carb related. From memory the float level is not adjustable , the needle being fixed in the float , so I’m not sure what adjustments you have made.
Before going down the valve route(which I have strong doubts are not your problem) , firstly THOROUGHLY clean the carb , try it again , if problem persists , raise the slide fuel needle slightly and try again.
Be VERY careful when re-assembling , it is very easy on these carbs to damage the top of the float needle , check this on yours , they have an extremely fine tip , and the slightest damage will result in flooding issues.

I must admit I’ve never seen a fourstroke 700 , what were the engine options.

That was my initial thought Charlie , hence asking if it was a rotavator , it’s the only machine that springs to mind as having an air intake running through the tank.

Is it actually a small two wheel tractor , or a rotavator ??

John , yes , everything about that looks correct.

John , that’s a Suffolk engine , judging by the air filter , an early one at that.

Have a good one Jim.

John , that is deffo not a B 10 (they are a butterfly type carb) , from the pics I can see it appears an S series carb , which were relatively common. It should have a “clip-on” cylindrical type filter , all metal construction with a wire gauze inner.
