I've cleaned all the jets, but was wondering the emulsion tube refers to the press put large jet, that the main jet screws into, does that have some small holes going up the sides, I've only ever sprayed it with compressed air I've never removed it perhaps they may be blocked if they are present. I reconnected the wire yesterday and it made zero difference, I'll have a look to see if I have that read bulb. Thanks again @SpookDog

If you haven't done this yet you'll need to get this out (screw the main jet back in without the brass washer and lightly tap it), make sure all the holes in the tube are unblocked and also check its air feed is clear, this is the small clear tube which pushes onto a brass tube on the right of the carb body just in front of the carb-to-airbox rubber (it's a very small hole and difficult to blow through).
What happens over time is the space between the carb body and emulsion tube accumulates moisture and debris and this blocks more and more of the holes until it just starts fourstroking one day.

Christ, I thought it was just a big brass tube since there was no easy looking way to get it out. Feel a bit silly now ahah.

@SpookDog I wouldn't get excited about the shrink wrap, it's not a DTR after all.

Does look very similar to a DTRE ignition system though. Zeeltronic might be a good upgrade to the TDR ignition system.

RE was a boring class I had to sit through when I was 10 years old…I hope you find the problem…
