I have just got this Ranger up and running after a long time hibernating (not with me). Lights work and moved around in first so clutch is okay. The S25 carburettor probably needs a new teflon float as it flooded out a couple of times though a few taps cured it. It is now road registered and I am waiting for a registration plate.

Flooding will be the needle not seating, the official trick is to give it a tap to make seating good. If it was the float it would flood every time. Will probably sort itself after a bit of use -
The needle is made from square bar when it wears the square shoulder stops it seating.
it's best remake the point and it will cure the problem but you need a four jaw chuck.
Failing that Villiers services have new needles.Comment

Thanks both - I will strip the carburettor and see what wear there is, I expect it needs a good clean out after a long storage.Comment
