Hi all just returning to the forum after a good few years without an Enfield.
Picked up my mates 2007 registered (UK Watsonian updated) 350cc Bullet with just 7,500 km on the clock it started first kick but only ran for a minute and spluttered - repeated several times - decided to strip everything off the bike to enable a good clean and check over. Fuel smell indicated it was going stale so all cleaned out , carb stripped and cleaned and air lined. All back together today but nothing!
Further checks suggest the fuel tap wasn't allowing fuel through verified by connecting separate fuel line Bike started and ran fine. Removed tap main and reserve pipes through with compressor reassembled but still no fuel!
Assume defective - new tap etc ordered - Question Is it possible to strip down the petrol tap and also can you undo the clear filter bowl and if so how - it does not budge!
