Hi guys
Well, I appear to have made one or two errors somehere... my fettling was going so well for a while there!
I popped to top of the motor a couple of weeks back & replaced the gaskets and oil rings there - hoping to seal up the slowly increasing leaks from the rocker cover. She's certainly feeling like there's greater compression now
Following that I removed the carbs (leaking a little, and very grotty) and used the servicig kits from David Silver to replace all the inner parts and gaskets - the bike was running on some very old and flat gaskets all round! Glad to say that the carbs don't leak or overflow now. I also used the drill bit method to re-sync the carbs as they were a little out.
However, now we come to the issues.
1. Number 1 cylinder only starts to fire up after the engine warms a little (the motor sounds like it;s combusing much better following a clean though as there's a more rounded note to the ignition)
2. Number 4 carb now has no fuel running to it - all the others fill fine
2. There's a nasty knocking sound from inside the motor when it's on a very low idle (never there before) - this disappears the moment the clutch lever's is pulled in.
Any ideas on what daft mistakes I've made guys?
Cheers
Gav
