if so find mrbluepython on ebay and ask him for redex UCL. £9.99 per litre. saves stripping the head. run it till hot.
50ml down each plug. turn engine over for 30secs with plugs out and renix disconnected. plugs back in. start engine and pour redex down carb while fairly agressively revving the engine.
Voila! engine now purrs.
put remaining redex in fuel. 50ml per tank. will be perfect.
