Hi!
Recently I decided it would be a good idea to get my carbs cleaned out by ultrasound. How wrong was I...
So, carbs are back on bike, nice and clean, but it’s been a nightmare trying to get it running again. It starts and ticks over with choke off rather nicely, as soon as I pull the throttle back even slightly, it cuts out.
I thought that it was maybe getting too much air, covered the air filters, pulled the throttle back and surprise surprise, sweet F’ all …
Not going to lie, I’m no expert, so any suggestions or advice would be great. I’m a bit confused by it all!
Just need a “simple” explanation on how to sync and tune the carbs. It’s a 1974 model.
Cheers!
