Yes a VERY popular conversion. Had carb off but didn't measure, Mikuni, VM-32 mebby.
Raised the needle one position (it was in the top/leanest position). Did some cleaning polishing, then put on 20 miles of backroads. Needle did it, stumble gone.
Even did good remembering; right foot 1 up 3 down shifting, left foot braking.
Blimey mate...Even did good remembering; right foot 1 up 3 down shifting, left foot braking.
Did you enjoy a warm beer afterwards?Yes a VERY popular conversion. Had carb off but didn't measure, Mikuni, VM-32 mebby.

When your painter's laid up a bit of rattle canning will get you by.
Thought it seemed a little extra "slippery" out on the road yesterday. Checked tires, 2020 date codes, it had been stored in Florida heat......
