Cheers Julie and Oddjob, that's put that idea to bed finally. .

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.

Good thought Steve, googled the video and maybe might be problem. I'll try that as well , once I've reassembled carbs. Cheers for tip.

Did you replace the o-rings in the manifolds Bill?
All new o rings everywhere in carb including manifold. 🤔 you can see why I'm confused , seem to have done everything right, obviously not but as to what it's a mystery!

Going to go for full strip down, re clean and reassemble. In meantime I'll recheck tappets and timing in case it's slipped but shouldn't be problem 😉

Going back to Bill's problem of the bike refusing to return to idle, I think I've read all replies to your original post (hope I didn't miss any!). I hope you will forgive me if I'm stating the 'bleedin' obvious' but is the FB spring in the middle of the bank between 2&3 present, correctly attached and not badly stretched?
Ian
Return spring between 2 and 3 carbs is in place and snaps back really fiercely, when operating by hand have to mind your fingers!

Just a thought Bill, did you fit the carb to manifold stubs in the correct orientation? If yours are OEM, if they are fitted correctly, they should read 1,2,3,4 from left to right whilst sitting on bike. The 2 middle ones, 2 & 3 are angled differently than 1 & 4, if not fitted correctly, air may be getting in.
I do remember checking that as they have a number embossed on them I recall. Have tried spraying them when running with carb cleaner and no pick up in revs. Thanks for the offer Julie, I'll persist in the meantime but if without success, may well take you up on your offer. 👍

If the throttles are snapping fully closed, which is very easy to prove, I’d not somebody else’s pension it’s a pilot jet/pilot jet route partial blockage.
I'm taking them off ...again so I'll have a check but all were cleaned before reassembly but you never know 👍

Sorry to return to this but have tried everything suggested to no avail. Watched videos suggested, did Bryan's revised bench sync . Air screw on carbs 1 and half turns out but still same problem.
Any more ideas, close to scrapping b****y thing. Even rechecked float heights again as per Nurse Julie method and all OK.
Someone suggested balancing carbs but as won't tickover seems to be bit early for that ?

Not as yet. Got to take my dear lady into hospital for major surgery, so been a bit preoccupied. I'll let you know how it goes , the bike, that is, when I get time . 👍

No worries Ted on that score, been there before, isn't that what old takeaway dishes are for ? 😉🤣

With you on that Ted , also no spring below it.

Yep they're all there but one T cup bit in lower end of riser ( one on which brass cap fits) doesn't want to come out and didn't during strip down .

Don't recall reading that Ted isn't that on the 500 or 550, hope so as all mine have yellow paint on 🤣

Cheers Ted and Oddjob,
Have stripped down and cleaned slider assembly, lubed etc and reassembled. Couldn't really see much wrong, no major debris and everything in the right place , thankfully. Did notice that the 2 springs in the slider arm although are same length were slightly different colours, so swapped them around , TTYL anything now.
Ted, still have little ball bearing in choke mechanism too.
Odd job, was full strip , everything apart including slider arm ..
