Update time.
First I washed the filthy things as after several miles along a road that looked like a mud track Strumpet was disgusting & Hornet wasn't much better from general use.

Then I took the take off the Hornet to find why it was pretending to be out of fuel after 4 miles on reserve. Turns out it was out of fuel, but the fuel tap had got dirt in it so when set to on, it was also on reserve. Handy that, so switching to reserve means there's no fuel left. I'm glad I checked rather than just putting fuel in & ignoring it.
You can tell it's a Honda as all those twenty year old screws in the fuel tap came undone without hassle. The tap is a simple three position switch with a spring loaded ball sealing off the different holes as it's turned. A good flush with brake cleaner got the gunge out & means reserve is reserve again.

Then I drove to the petrol station, got a gallon of cheap shit petrol it doesn't like to put in it. My local station doesn't do E5 and I couldn't be bothered to drive further with all the shitsmus shopping fuckwits on the road. The Hornet will run on it & ride to a petrol station for proper fuel when used next.
