OK funnily enough after writing this i went out to check the filter again and noticed that there was some petrol in there this time...... So i poured some more petrol down the carby and wound it over till it fired up and now seems to be working fine again? Random
I think you may have it DatsAndy though as i noticed some fine cracks around the hoses.
I'll swap em out later.
Could be rust in the tank too as its been sitting around the last 10 years in a paddock.
IMHO the 1200 looks and handles much better than the Sunny. But like what others are saying the Sunny is a much nicer ride. Better interior. Quiter in cabin.
I'm swapping over my 1200 struts for some 120y ones. The 120Y having discs instead of drums being the reason why :) There pretty much a straight swap over, you need to keep your 1200 springs and strut tops to put on the 120y struts though as the 120y springs and tops sit a bit higher.
