Hi chaps
It's a glorious day here in sunny Scotland on this Easter Monday!!!
Ok, here's where we are.
Carburettors both taken off bike and disassembled. Cleaned in ultrasonic cleaner. Checked both jets for foreign bodies before reinsertion. Checked shutoff that it works, and it does.
Put the 2 screw in things into side of carb, one of them inserted all the way and then unscrewed by 1.25 turns.
Reassembled, put back on bike, attached air filters, and bunged on temporary tank with sort of fresh fuel.
No leaks, no overflows.
I did the lolly sticks thing to ensure both slides moving simultaneously, and fortunately they were.
Bike will start no problem, but you need to keep giving it the welly.
So bike does not even want to idle.
What should be my starting point?
I had been lulled into false sense of how easy this was, as the previous bike I did the exact same set of tasks and it all worked first time.
Any suggestions as usual will be much appreciated
Thanks
David
