Made a bit more progress today, the carbs was leaking fuel out of the right overflow, a tiny adjustment to the float bowl height sorted this.  Once fuel was in the carbs it only took a couple of kicks to start.   Then it was time to look at the electric starter problem.  Dropped oil out and took the side cover off, pressed the starter, I can hear the starter motor spinning fast but the chain doesn’t move, took the chain off and pressed start, I can hear the starter motor spin fast but the starter cog doesn’t move, so its a problem with the starter motor, the starter clutch may be OK after all.
