Just remembered this

Yeah sorry I tried to remove one but it didn't seem to work

Brock:
Other topic removed, and this one moved to the ST1100 Fuels thread.

I forgot about the fuel vacuum switch, I removed mine ages ago.

Rule one when Fault finding on these bikes, do they easy bits first. Getting the Carbs off and apart and back on again is definitely not easy.

STeveo:
FIX IT NOW!
Mine smelt of fuel just before it went up in flames, but it was completely burnt so I cannot guess as to why, but fix it now please before anything happens.

Ooh yes- I remembered that in this present context.  Sourcing every fuel smell is vital since we never did find out the cause of the ignition in that case.
