[QUOTE="Raymond, post: 742272, member: 30022"] You are right, Jan. The Bullet is in a soft state of tune, low CR, and it hasn't kicked at me. Yet. When it has misbehaved on kicking, usually a backfire through the carb and a puff of unburnt fuel comes out from the K&N. Advice from experienced Bulleteers on the Unofficial Royal Enfield forum is to look at whether the tap is flowing enough fuel, also check the float height. I still have not checked the spark timing and their feeling is, if the bike runs, it's probably close enough for now. Yesterday, held a cup under the fuel tap to check the flow. Maybe best describe as like a 5 year-old boy peeing rather than a vigorous grown man. The tap is very small bore, but seems to be flowing freely. Hitchcocks offer an ethanol fuel tap which has a larger bore and that might be worth thinking about. I don't think there is much wrong, but it is very easy to lose direction and just cast about in the hope of solving the poor running. [/QUOTE]
