Thanks for your offer B40RT but have already ordered one off ebay.

Does it matter where it is placed ( as it isn't an original one will not fit in correct place), or wired into the circuit ??

Mount it beside the coil, cant remember where the original was.

Had another go at starting my problematic M80 this morning.

After a bout 10 kicks and nothing I whipped out the plug and it was still dry.

A quick squirt of fuel down the plug hole one kick and burst into life.

I was still thinking that this is a carby problem as the fuel wasn't getting into the combustion chamber.

I took off the float bowl and checked the float height , it did seem rather low so heated up the bowl and tapped the brass float pin housing down a little so that the fuel level in the bowl would be slightly higher.

Put it back together , tickled till she flooded and she started first kick , a little hesitant at first but did pick up.Warmed her right up and rode down a local green lane for about 4 miles.

Many thanks to the guys who have made some useful suggestions to my problems.

Now I would like to ask you all from your experience what would the bike be worth today ??

Its a 1971 M80 with 2 previous owners. It is also fitted with a Sammy Miller Hi Boy frame.

Also where would be the best place to sell it.

Many thanks
