Sesman, yes, fully stripped for ultrasonic cleaning and all ports blasted through with compressed air afterwards.
So carbs ultra sonic cleaned and all jet holes clear and reassembly about to begin along with new o rings etc.A question has been put to me by a friend that after bench syncing I'd still need to balance carbs, the impression I gleaned from BryanJ etc al was that a good bench sync should be near enough. Is my failure to do carb syncing after causing my problem of not returning to idle? Haven't got that far yet but maybe why.
Hopefully this is the closing post on this episode. Splashed out on a new advance/ retard unit and new throttle cables. And when fired up and revved returns to 1200rpm. Whether or not it was the cables, advance retard, points, (renewed them too), bench sync or thorough carb cleaning I don't know and to be honest I don't care.Just needs a minor timing set up but otherwise we're good at long last. 👍😉
