When I the bike the sump was full of fuel. As the fuel tap was left on "prime" I assumed that was the problem. Drained the crap, changed the filter and refilled with new oil. Then noticed all fuel lines to the petcock were disconnected or removed. Haynes doesn't make things too clear so I had to work it all out. Put a couple of litres of new fuel in the tank and she fired up first time. Settled down when warm and ran sweet. Noticed a leak from the "out" on the petcock so put a new one on and put a few more litres in the tank. All went well for about 5 mins then she cut out and won't restart. Noticed fuel leaking out from the bottom of the RH carb. Any ideas?

I had this problem many times , I discovered the manufacture forgot to put the filters in the tank, I had to fit an external filter, which  was much cheaper than the internal ones. the other problem was fuel getting into the engine. this was prevented by inserting a piece of fuel pipe up the bottom of the filter where it attaches to the engine. about a couple of inches long. and sealed in. this still allows the breathing, but the fuel can't get into the engine if the problem re occures , it will just leak out the drain holes at the bottom of the filter .

Registered but can't access Bob. Any recommendations for sourcing a plug spanner that will fit an ER5?

Yes halfords do one which has a universal joint on the end. it  works fine.
