Well I have gone back to basics, I thought look for the obvious!
Then I saw that the hose had not been connected to the carburetor for the vacuum advance.
The previous owner had put a new DEMON carburetor on but not put the hose on the carburetor manifold.
Unfortunately it's raining and I can't test my theory, am I correct....
Thank you everyone for help your mate from AUS
