try puttin a touch of fuel down the spark plug hole to test your theory if starts like that u know you on the right track

To comfirm it tip some petrol down the spark plug hole, and see if it fire's, then go from there.....

Be ready with the plug (quick), a little over finger tight will do for it to fire...

So when testing by putting a dab of fuel down the spark hole, do you put the plug back in and then fire it up? And will it fire even tho my carb has been stripped off?

Yes your plug needs to be in to ignite the fuel, not sure on the carb needing to be fitted but I think it would to do with airflow? Carbs are black magic to me
