Thanks for replying. From what I've read here and elsewhere, it starts pretty much as it should. Still won't start without choking, but after changing the plugs it seems pretty much like what you describe. The big difference now is that I can take the choke off as soon as it starts.

I'm really more concerned about the scavenge tube, whether I can get to it and tighten while the carb is attached, or even whether its worth being worried about.
