I think you may be over reacting Juitz, try winding all the vac adjusting screws fully down. Then fit the vac gauges and vac them like that, you may find you need to use the idle adjusting thumb screw to get the bike to tickover that way but it should stop the throttle seeming to hang at 3k.

If that doesn't work then look to maybe alter the carb settings.

Cheers guys.

Will try again oddjob with your method, otherwise will see about getting jets from Sirius (not wrong about the website). Last option will be Roos courier service!

Serenity now!

Almost a good result but not quite there.

I fully closed the carbs and started the process again. I seemed to get it to a point where it returned to idle, but when I took it for a spin it stuck at 2krpm again. Seems like when running at full temp it needs a bit of work.

The idle screw is almost all the way in though but maybe has.just enough adjustment to get it to work.
