Carb synchronising issues

[El__burro]

That's better than the readings on my GS650;  Worn out with a capital F methinks.

you reckon worn out bores?

thanks, i am planning (once the weather gets better) to take the engine out and replace the gaskets and (eventually) the rings.
I've seen some piston rings set, my question is why some of them have 5 and some 3 rings?
Any recommendation?

Bad practice to buy ANY parts before stripping and examining carefully

Thanks Oddjob,
even in light of info like this out there, I will not buy any parts before realising that I really need them, yet, if that will be the case, i'd like to know the best option out there based on your experience.
For example I've bought some forks oil seals (Chinese stuff) and they are just rubbish.
I'm sure that DSS will be the most approved source on the web(?)

I guess, I have to convince myself to take on this engine job,
i have done another test, this time with a bit of oil into cylinder one and it came up much better.
Now, I just need to wait for a bit of spring to remove the engine and explore.

Thanks

The point is that if you want stuff to be a guaranteed fit and do a perfect job, only put parts on your bike that come in a Honda bag, with the correct part number. This is what DSS sell, wherever possible.
