thanks, seem to have had another blonde moment. will be getting her sorted this week.  ;D

thanks for the push in the right direction.  ;D

captaindonutbikes:
when adjusting the idle screw to set the idle speed it is important that you have the correct size pilot jet.

in my case there was no pilot jets! unfortunately they had not been fitted from purchase and i have spent the last month trying to figure out what the feck was going on with it!  :'( :(

needless to say i am slightly ticked off after spending a small fortune and not having the goods delivered as per spec.

i should have checked i here you say but when you purchase from a 'performance specialist' you expect just that!

hopefully when the jets turn up i shall finally be able to enjoy my hard work!

cheers

K2-K6:
Yep I guess they should have been complete when delivered and maybe not that easy to spot until you try and use them. At least you're getting somewhere now though so you can get on with any other stuff that needs doing.

Hopefully we'll hear how it goes soon.
