Thanks very much Tubs and Buc for you replies with those excellent photographs!

It would appear that there is a part of the carb missing……..looks like a pipe with a bend in it (horn shaped) that appears to be for air intake on looking at similar carbs.

Unfortunately the photos don’t show it.

I noticed a square piece of metal with a 1/4 inch hole bored in it, covering the area, which seems wrong, as the air intake would be almost nil.

The compression is  65psi  and has plenty of bounce when turning the flywheel.

Fortunately the gears are in excellent condition with fresh grease in the gearbox.

The points came up well with some wet and dry sandpaper and a good spark was produced, so I think she will be a good runner.

Attached are photos of the motor.https://photos.app.goo.gl/gUDdyUo85Vr7g7sm6

 

Thanks once again………a parts, list if available would be great.
