Hi Brian!
I’ll check the fuel spray as soon as I came back home from work.

I forget to tell you about sth I’ve noticed:
When I push the bike (with the decompresser pushed, for easier pushing) and take out the return pipe (on the tank side) I can notice that the fuel is coming out of the pipe. By my opinion that means that the fuel pump is working OK and that the fuel lines are OK.
But when I try to start it, nothing.
I suspected the jet, but the jet was fine. Checked it three times!

The strangest thing is that when I put a little amount of fuel with a syringe in the hole where the fuel filter sits, I can start the bike and ran it for a few meters! I can only put a little bit of fuel, since it overflows back in the tank via the return pipe.
Checked the fuel filter, and it’s clean.

How can it be that I get fuel from the pump in the carb, the jet is clean, but can not start it???
Maybe the problem is in the carb after all???

Thank you for your help.
Regards
