Hi I've did a re sink on the carbs and it now ticks over as it should but I still have the same problem when accelerating I've posted a question in the wiring diagram thread because I'm not sure if it's electrical now. I've not had chance to try the battery yet.

Hi I've basically used this wiring for my bike but I kept the standard coils and points but since installing the pma I can't get the bike to run properly. I've balanced the carbs and tried different jets and needle positions but with no real improvement and I'm now wondering if...
