Cosh the carb with your biggest screwdriver....

Pilot jet is very small check it! Use air line on air ways. Swap carb over to confirm if carb.

I've just striped part of engine down to find out crankshaft oil seal knackered and think the crank may be worn.

maybe all is not lost depending on which seal it is

A tin of easy start isn't as easy to hit the carb with... Screwdriver is definitly better.
