LOL!

Yeah, have stayed at a few of those myself when I was working as a Cat mechanic in years gone by.

With apologies to the owner who frequents this site, the drain screws on the carbs are so buggered up I can't get them out without pulling carbs themselves. What I have done is squirt raw gas down in the vacuum line for the petcock. Did manage to get it to sputter a few times, but it was a "wimpy" sputter and she never took off.

I am still questioning the procedure in the Manual itself. That whole cam timing and valve adjustment procedure is rather convoluted, IMHO. Has there been an errata issued regarding that Top End section??
