From memory, these carby's have a filter on top of the needle & seat (inside the carby) & they can block up & cause problems.
Also, the screen on the tank pick-up could be blocked.
Cheers.

The fuel pick-up/ sender unit will fit in from the top of the fuel tank. There is usually a gauze screen on the bottom of the pick-up to filter out any crap before it gets sucked to the carby. I think you need to remove the back seat from a Laser to access it (it's been a few years since I did one).
I recall we had one Laser where there pick-up filter had come off & the pick-up pipe was flush against the bottom of the tank, causing it to severely restrict fuel flow.

thanks for your advice,
I 'll check the pick up filter and pipe on fuel tank after after I finish my work hours.

Hey Emut, I've attached diagrams showing how to modify the fuel pick-up. The drawings aren't great (I'm no artist) but you should get the general idea.
