Progress - She runs at last! (75 CB400F)
K2-K6:
Looks like you're getting somewhere with them at least.
Take from your title that you're talking about the Bosch fuel injected golf's. As you say a bit different from these old bikes.
I'm just the other side of the A3 from you, so if you need another pair of eyes to look at the carbs, give us a shout.

Ah cool, thanks. Yes indeed, I've had a couple of '83 GTIs on K-Jet.
It feels like I've progressed anyway! Hopefully i'll get to refit at the weekend and try again...
K2-K6:
There's a mk1 lives near me, they look modern even now and very crisp design. We ran an 86yr Audi 5 cylinder some time ago a close relative in engine and fuel injection.
I don't think there's any mysteries in the bike carbs, just a bit of time and careful setup and they're not much trouble when up and running. You can't be far from getting them sorted I think.

Indeed, even the later engines weren't too far removed, I fitted the 2.0 16V from a mid 90s Corrado, running a mix of 16v mk2 Golf and 8v Mk1 k-jet systems.
So carbs are back on and bike is started, but appears to be running on only cylinder 1&4 now. Idle with choke on is laboured (Unsurprisingly).
Must have knocked something as all Four were firing beforehand. I have a feeling I'm going to be chasing my tale a little on this beasty before I get anywhere close to setting it up properly.
In the mean time I'm going to set up the brakes so at least I can run it up the road at some point!

Don't ignore other possibilities. Have you got a spark on 2 & 3? Gremlins have a way of diverting your attention while you're chasing something else.
Worth checking so you know for sure that it's fuel and not ignition.
Hope you get it resolved soon.
