One & a halve tuns out. Alan....... Just set mine up. The bike was a 6 + prod starta That turned into a ( its a not going to starta) So off with the carbs, cleaned refitted, But this time I made sure that the left carb idle adjuster was adjusted first to just a smidge below std tick over, then I adjusted the right carb so it was just beginning to increase the revs. I then spent forever synchronizing the throttle cables so both opened Exactly together. What a difference longest it's been left since I did this is only 4 days "unheated garage." full choke, no throttle, Halve a prod,fires up & idles on the choke + it's so much more Keen to rev from idle. The manual does'nt mention the left carb idle adjuster that I can see ? :D ..... Its something I've thought about :!: always the left cyl fails. :idea: What if the left carb is completely closed on the overrun
& Idling on the right carb only. ???? This might all be bullshit but I'm happy in my own Way :roll: !. If Anyone knows any of this to be wrong please SAY...... Usual disclaimer ( Is it broken, I wasn't here, I knew nothing about it. I ham from Bathaloner ) Alan.
