Touch of the Wilko Johnson's.
He plays the wrong instrument, this is a still from a recent video of me playing the right instrument. [ Guests cannot view attachments ] Ended up with a RD500LC and sorry to say but, sold it for a XJ650Turbo. Mistake !
RD500 my dream bike, I will have one some day.

Lovely RD. I'd like a 400 like that...
I passed my test on it when I was 17.

Another thing you need to get right is to make sure all the slides move/start at exactly the same time when the throttle is turned, also get the dimension in the picture below as near as possible when you put the carbs back on the bike, it's the best starting point for synchronisation, you can't get a vernier in so I made a 56mm gauge out of a nail.

Bend the tang arrowed to get them level when in the rested position and they should be around 21mm, if they are tilted as you describe the 21mm dimension is the point on the float furthest from the carb body/float bowl seating face.

Mine are pretty much parallel with the carb body/float bowl seating face as they should be. Not my picture but mine were pretty much like this, you need to bend the centre tang next to the pivot point to make them level.

From the float bowl mating face to the highest part of the bottom of the float when the carb is inverted.

This is better than a R1, and yes i had someone smack me from behind
Not really my cup of tea, no wonder they only made 500  I know they made it a production bike to gain entry to World Superbikes but what are they like for spares etc. ?

So would I, this one's mine, 1998 model, before they softened them up. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]

In my mind not the prettiest of bikes out there, looks a bit big and lumpy.
They are so well balanced that they handle really well, especially the later version with the mono-shock, brakes aren't the best though.

Just a shame it is a later model.
Later model ? They only made them from 1978 to 1982 and is a 1979 model.

only thing I cannot figure out is they supply a Rubber seal about 3" in dia. Anyone know what it is for.
If it's like the one the arrow is pointing to it's as Bryanj says, the float bowl seal. [ Guests cannot view attachments ]
