Mike the cleaner came with it, there is a big bundle of leads but not checked out what's what yet. Trying to sort out where the petrol injector test fluid comes from https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006500531333.html
They have got designated cleaners on the bay of thieves, as @Pete. points out they would need powering up.

The proper injector test fluid is expensive! I bought 5L of it for my machine at the time about 5 years ago and it was about £60 IIRC. It's the exact viscosity of petrol but non flammable or degradable.
I can get photos of the label later if you need to find some. Video of mine running from before.

I think that Toluene is a traditional ingredient of petrol system cleaners. Needs handling with care though.
It's also an octane booster for high performance engines. I remember a time when I was top speed racing my bike these three guys bought turbo charger systems for their bikes from America and instead of forking out for proper race fuel they mixed their own concoction with toluene. At least 2 might have been all 3 engines melted their pistons on the first high power run. All for £130 worth of fuel.

Every time I see a post like this I think I'd like to have a go at one of these, and then I see a few posts later how bad some of them are and the work/cost involved and have to give myself a stern talking to...

I never found the Stromberg to be as responsive as the SU and that's largely a result of the Stroms being a patent workaround, so never really got it, properly.
Handiest thing about the black condom was that a CD150 Stromberg diaphragm was identical to the BMW R80 Bing carb's one. Big difference between £1 a go at the motor factor and a fiver a go (and the rest) at the BM stealer.

When we got home from our lighthouse vacation, I found a couple of tools in our mailbox. Just a small purchase, but these precision erasers are extremely handy when doing pencil drawings/sketches. The erasers feed through the pencil-style holder in pretty much the same way as leads in a mechanical pencil. If you do much sketching, you probably already have a set of these, but if you don't have them, you should get some!

Down the Gun Club... Bloke walks up to me and hands me 4 x 12 Bores that he no longer wants. One looks like it has never been fired and has lovely walnut woodwork. Result!!
A brilliant bit of kit. Very effective but I still haven’t hit one in flight yet. Be aware my wife couldn’t understand why her vase of flowers died so quickly until she found some strange granular in itCould not resist. Perfect complement to my new sun deck...
