steve, whip the air filter off and check how far open the carb is (should be about 1mm)

also, i found squirting a bit of fuel in to carb, helps the cappiliary action before the tank gets pressurised. (bit technical for first thing, i know)

To add to that,

If the carb is closing up too much then you can adjust the throttle stop by the small horzontally mounted grub screw on the left had side of the carb body.

Don't worry mate, don't really fancy a discussion on Linear Expansion or coefficients, keep it simple - if it works, don't fix it
