Went to Southport with Biffta this evening and got moved on by the law.

Bikes aren't allowed at the cafe on the prom any more due to "Health & Safety" issues following complaints from the non biking public.

The end of an era. I've been going there since I was 16 on my Yammy FS1-E.

Southport, RIP.

Unfortunately the Mrs is off all weekend and has planned lots of family things we can do together so I can't get out at all!

Enjoy your ride Mick.

Thanks Dave.

I tried an extra eigth turn out and I think that was a bit too far so I've put them back to 2 1/4.

I'll run it for a while and see what it's like.

Miles better though!

Did a few miles today.  :)  :)  :)

Might try another 1/8 turn out.

Bit of a result!

Mr Haynes says that the pilot screws should be 1 3/4 turns out + or - a 1/2 turn so, thinking it was running rich I screwed them in by 1/4 turn and tried it. Not happy.

Tried another 1/4 turn and even worse!

Backed them out again and then out  a further 1/4 turn. Better. Another 1/8 turn, better again so I've gone out the extra 1/2 turn and the difference is marked.

It idles fine and now it doesn't bog down when I set off and accelerates cleanly.

Still a bit hesitant when opening up from a small throttle on the move but again much better.

I'll try it for a while and might risk another 1/8th or a quarter. Can always turn it back.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers guys.

I get a bit of stuttering if I open the throttle from idle and also when opening it from a small throttle opening which makes me think it's a bit weak on the idle circuit.

I really need to remove them and clean them but that's a winter's night job.

I just want to ride it at the moment so I'll have a play and se what I can do.

Hi again.

Which way do the pilot screws on the carbs on my 550 work?

Is it screw in to richen or screw out?

The manual isn't clear.

Thanks.

I haven't tried mine in the rain yet.

Mates CB750K6 used to stop when it rained due to 30 year old plug leads.

Hope mine are OK!
