[QUOTE="boycer, post: 627794, member: 23353"] Hi, Went for a run tonight & engine started running rough (wouldn't rev & tickover was low and lumpy), so pulled in to check and one of the dellorto carbs was leaking fuel. Seemed to stop leaking so tried to start engine, but wouldnt turn engine over, almost like the battery was dead (which it definitely isn't - all electrics working ok) i.e. it couldn't turn the engine over properly. Tried bumping, but still would not fire. Almost feels like the engine was half seized, but I could turn it over with an adjustable spanner on the timing pulley. Realise there is probably a couple of things going wrong, but not sure what it could be, any help would be appreciated! Thanks [/QUOTE]
