Hi all, new to the marque and this website so please be gentle with me
Loving the bike it’s a 74 B in great condition, slowly sorting the items that need attention.
Going to strip the carbs, ultrasonically clean them then balance them which I believe needs doing.
So the question, bike over revs regularly sometimes up to 4,000 rpm for up to 30 secs. that doesn’t happen that often but regularly remains at about 2 k when trying to slow down.
it’s not the cables, the throttle linkage at the carbs are closed onto the stops.
Any help what I should be looking for?
