So .... another learning curve today ... carb balancing
Everything checked and double checked
I haven’t received the auxiliary tank so decided to have a go with what the floats hold - more to be a practice run
The carbs were all different - and quite up and down from #2
I was surprised how little you move the adjustment screw to make a big difference - explains I suppose why they can all look set ok but still be unbalanced.
The mercury gauge kindly donated by Ken worked great - it seemed most stable at around 2k revs.
So .... I learnt that I need the extra time as it is quite fiddly so will be having a second attempt when the tank arrives. I have got them better but not good enough.
It shows that a novice can do these and other jobs with help and guidance
The bike does seem to idle much smoother ... will take it for a blast to see if there is a noticeable difference
Cheers
Simon
