It has been on the shelf for 2 years now.

It runs away, you previously thought a pipe from the tank to carb might have come adrift.

I didn't have the inclination to take it apart before but a long Summer of boredom ahead with little chance of traveling to either the U.K or Morocco, I thought I'd finally get on with it.

Changed the fuel solenoid and clutch springs on the 241 today so feeling motivated.

Take a look at the gap between the rear of the cylinder and the air box partition. At the bottom of the back end of the cylinder, there will be a pipe going on to a brass union. If the pipe is flapping, get some forceps or tweezers and push it back on.

This is the impulse line and it is connected to the carb. You don't need to remove the carb to do this.

Also check the cylinder bolts that hold the cylinder down are tight, If they are loose, you will need to remove it and reseal as I believe I dropped your base gasket!

I've never seen a plug wrench with an 8mm on it! A small tee spanner is a lot less cumbersome, so my vote goes there.

395s come with a little combi spanner that's 8/10mm sockets and a 4mm allen key on the end. Not sure it's something you'd need in the field though.
