Hi everyone,
Sorry this is going to be a really stupid question!!!
Im having trouble starting an have tried everything other than the carb! Someone has suggested I put a small amoun of fuel straight into the carb and if it starts, I know fuel is my problem!
I don't know a lot about carbs and am wondering where exactly I put the fuel in! Slightly embarrassed as I guess this is pretty obvious! Please use simple terms and assume I'm stupid in your replies please!
Thanks!

It would be better to put some fuel in a squirty bottle and spray it into the carb so at least then it is partially atomised. In this cold weather pouring neat fuel in will probably make things worse and just wet the plugs up. Would be beneficial to heat the carb/intake manifold with a heatgun if you can...

Take the air filter off and squirt it in the large hole you can see, WD40 will also do the job if you don't have a squirty bottle
