One other thought - if you can stick a small funnel in the hole, drain
cleaner might do the job. The 2-part foaming gel stuff seems to work
wonders, but might be too thick, so maybe try the liquid stuff.

Don't have one - its on the list to buy though as this bike has about 10
grease nipples.

Success on the blockage though - seems me going into the garage every
couple of hours over the last few days and squirting carb cleaner into
the hole has cleared it. Pipes and tap now fitted - I was going to fit
the clutch cover but it's a bit chilly in the garage so I decided to
watch some cricket :-(
The reserve pipe routing is a bit weird, the exit from the tank is on
the opposite side to the tap, so the pipe has to route over the frame
tube which means that reserve on one side of the tank will be hardly any
extra fuel.


Only the clutch cover to fit, fill with oil and set the timing and I'll
see if it runs.
