carb headache

Post by martin »

at long f_cking last. my carbs are now sorted :lol: no more taking the friggin tank and airbox on and off, new pilots[size 40] new shutoff valves[no more fuel in the pipes] :D new mains, new jet needles, clip in the needle jet 2nd from top and air screws one and a quater out [it actually works and picks up without using the choke :lol: even resealed the clutch cover, so no more oily engine, the only problem now is one of the calipers seems to weep and then stops[put new pistons and seals in] maybe it takes time for the seals to swell up and seal[hope so or strip caliper again, roll on the summer :lol: i have also started to check my gear oil like rc46 said in his thread, he is right[dont totally trust the sight glass for checking the oil] i put exactly 850 in, and put the bike level . came home from work[and not showing what it should, ran the bike for a while whilst finishing the carb set up, had dinner and then re checked[and it was where it should be in the sight glass :? , drained the oil in a jug, and still exactly 850

Brilliant, well done.
You must have been tearing your hair out.
I hope fitting new pilots will sort mine out, wish me luck [-o<
