The axle is a fully refurbished Benco axle with 3.88 ring and pinion compared with the 4.375 AB code gearbox I was using so more suited to the 2 litre as well

Hi Lep. if you cant get to the carbs to give the a tap. try disconnecting the wire to the fuel pump under the seat. then start it up and let it run out of fuel in the carbs. switch off reconnect the pump. switch the ignition on and start it back up it may free the float needle.
