BS 34 carburetors

[Jan_P]

Post #8 page 1 I posted a pic of my carbs that showed the different setting for each pilot screw.

Been a while and many pages later.

Yes Sir Sorry about that I confess this has been a bad performance by me.
I have never had much carburetor problems over the years 4 - 5 times over 40 Years

.So I Tried to find electrical Problems for to Long --The proverbial " Lost in Space " .. Where one can use a different Methodology . At least when having done it many times And on an old bike with substandard wiring there are electrical problems ( Everything is a problem ) I had a weak old battery for starters .
One can measure and try. If not working try something else. The quick fix Use parallel wires and Whatnot.
And then when I found the Carburetor Problems I did not clean it Properly ( Had No compressed Air then )
And then started to adjust .and shift Jets without reading the manual. ( Could not start it on one Cylinder )

A learning curve here ..Jump in and try to fix it was not the right method. This Time

Nothing to be sorry about. A reminder and proof, thats all.

Fingertip ratchet .CAR boot sale 3 $
Sometimes tools can be pretty Or do I have a defect between the ears , .No pretty tools back in the seventies .
Good quality tools but no one bothered making them shiny or flashy perhaps high end was available and for Fine mechanics ,,
But I have not seen such
I don't believe this is old 80 ies or so Nor extremely High end .. Which would be step less which this one is not -- Fairy good though It has the rounded bits Ball head hex bits so one can use it at an angle
Spotted Painted Metal casing though I have Impact screwdriver from 80 ies with the same type looking metal box

In the process tweaking the mixture screws and moving the needle
For mixture screw a flathead bit 2 inch long ( 50 mm ) is good to have But these are hard to find buy.
On the way out .Cant buy them.
I was at a big hardware store For professionals He did not have them for sale either .
But he had a personal stash in a shop metal drawer. Believe it or not he gave me 3 x
Made me happy.
I have read the manual Now
Clip is in the third slot from the top Still a bit rich at full throttle coughs at 4-5 a little .
But I believe I will keep it for now.
Second slot did not work at all.
Having that bit and the wrench for spark plugs i adjust. Out on the road. If i need to

Fumbled again in the last owner segment ..All of a sudden white plug on the left side.
The hose for opening the petcock was cracked at the connection at the back and broke off. Probably been cracked a long time

So if you see those bits it can be a good idea to buy a couple. Having available Here they are disappearing .
I Painted with yellow paint on other things .So I also marked bits with paint One side of the hex yellow So one can se better how much turned
