It warmed up enough yesterday. Fitted carbs but still running rich. I have swapped air jets several times, but I'm happy that they are...

I'm slowly working through all the information from everyone. Thanks again. The weather is not too good here so I'll be working in my...

Sorry dumb question about Z6 jets. They are short as in the table above 😔

Thanks for that. I'll have a look

I've got the shorter Z6 jets fitted. They were in the carbs originally. Are they correct? I'm struggling to find suppliers for original...

That's a good point. I did do a drop test. With the choke closed it took around 10 seconds for the pistons to drop, on both carbs...

I've checked all the brass bits. They are correct for the year. Though the mains are non mikuni. I was thinking that the float heights...

I've had a good look at my two sets of carburettors. It turns out that the height of the threaded boss that the float needle valve sits...

I'll be on to that one tomorrow. The po managed to mess up the mains with a wrong screwdriver. I'll try to source some original ones the...

And thanks for that Slowshed. I'm having to work through that info. It takes me a while these days.

I fitted a rebuild kit🙄. It wasn't right, rich. So I refitted the original needles and jets, apart from mains, which was one size up...

Pure - purpose

I've got two pairs of floats and three pairs of needle valves (one not mikuni and not fit for pure). I've tried all combinations. What I...

I've just attempted to adjust my float heights to get the fuel level to lign up with the carb flange joints. I reduced the height of the...

Bike still running rich. Getting bogged down just of tickover then taking off like a scalded cat😲. I'm slowly working through as much...

I don't recall seeing any specifications for the springs. I just jumped straight in with the uprated springs as I was doing a full rebuild.

Hi I've just measured the ones I took out of my TX. 390mm. I think that they are the correct standard length. I replaced them with...

I sort of agree with you there. But I could have sat and watched it all day. Unfortunately my wife got bored after an hour 😞

That's the one. I really enjoyed the first few series. We have friends who live full time on boats. I don't think there's much room for...

There's a great British TV show called "canal boat diaries". I'm not sure if it's available in the US. Well worth watching. The first...

It would have been good to meet you. Maybe another time. We're only a ten minute walk from the boat hire place. Hope you had a good...

That's really amazing. I actually live in Silsden. I walk along the canal tow path every morning with my dog. Have you headed towards...

I used two carb rebuild kits- against all the advice on this great site. Took the bike for it's first run a couple of days ago and it...

Thank you. I really do appreciate the positive comments

It's sort of brg. But I've looked into the history a bit and it turns out that there have been a lot of different British racing greens...

Thanks for that. I'm really pleased with the colour. It was going to be signal red. Until my wife persuaded me otherwise 🤔

Thanks for that. I'm pleased with it. The exhaust is a complete system. It's a Marshall deeptone. Sounds really good. I don't think it's...

I thought I'd post some photos before and after. I think it's finished, for now. Inaugural run tomorrow, if the sun is shining. Two...

Hi I used Heiden tuning for quite a lot of parts. Highly recommend for us in the UK. They supply the brass washers...
