I guess this had been blocking or partially blocking a jet, once this was removed bike started first kick and I got on with the race for the remaining hour and a half! hard going but the bike then ran fine! although I think I will be playing with needles but at least I know the bike works!
Good news. Even if the race was no immediate success, at least you know why it didn't run as it should have, and I'm happy to hear that it runs OK now.
