I also was lucky (?) enough to have twin Solexes (I never thought I could say THAT and mean it!) with drain plugs at the base of each carb. Diesel will stay in the carb's bowl for a while (for a few gallons) but it eventually will mix out.

Just got off the phone with my mate as I was kinda interested in this saga myself
... and as you say Mike there seems to be Diesel still in the carby as the cold start is still a problem. It wants to die and he still gets a puff of grey smoke even after going thru half a tank of regular. I also suspect the plugs may have fouled? anyway will pass on the info re the pump, thanks again.
