ah cool cheers lads.
jordi I think ill follow suit and use what ive got already. seems to be working ok.
ollie at the top of the carb is a black cap, take it off and you'll see where the oil goes (where the "plunger", cant remember the exact name, comes out). should have oil down there, if not give it a top up
