    Hello, I'm nearly there so I think to getting my baby on the road. But it's running on 3 at the moment. I have a spark on all 4, but the plug on pot no1 is showing no signs of fuel at all. I've stripped and cleaned the carbs/ rebuilt them so where do I go from here ?

    Can you open the carb drain crew on that carb and see if any gas comes out?

    Your float in #1 could be set to high so it cuts off fuel before the bowl gets to fill.

    ...or the fuel rail between 1 and 2 is clogged. Unlikely, but that's the first thing that came to mind.
