    UPDATE
    A follow up for any suckers out there in a similar boat to me in the future.
    The Crane trigger wasn't aligned correctly, which was installed at the beginning of the year and has caused all sorts of problems, like rich running due to insufficient time for the charge to be released and crazy timing according to adjustable gun.
    Thanks to all those who helped along the way, I learnt heaps. Soon as I restarted the engine with the trigger correctly adjusted everything began to fall into place, idle mixture screws actually making a difference, nice idle at 800rpm and most importantly it pulls like a wounded bull with no hesitation or flat spots, although I'm pretty sure I have a bit of tuning to go as things are still pretty rich.
    In summary, "90% of your carb problems are the ignition".
    Videos to come.
    Cheers.

    Problem solved....
     

     
    ...well sort of.
     
    The needle valve gives me the ability to get the engine running properly, tuned the carbs and timed it. Now runs like a dream.
     
    Once warm the pressure drops to around 30psi and the needle valve is closed. This is first time I've properly been able to play with the throttle and get the engine working a little, trying to seat things.
     
    Not conventional, but whilst I still have some high spots in the engine this is my solution..... deal with it.

    Worked it out.
     
    In case anyone else has the same problem:
     
    You need to pop the strange clip holding the boot in place, then it all comes apart. The friction of the boot was preventing the cylinder going back in to the bore, then reassemble, pretty straight forwards.
