Ongoing PD46 carburettor woes (possibly)
OZZYSBIKES:
Let me know if or when they are for sale, if I can have first refusal it will be appreciated
OZZYSBIKES:
The email address for Paul Gabor is mybluebike2004@yahoo.com
He responds quickly and is a pleasure to deal with, the rubbers that you will receive are not quite as good looking as genuine ones but not noticeable when fitted, not much choice anyway, the ones from Germany on Ebay are twice the cost and I believe are from Paul
Bryanj:
Ken i will go seconds on the carbs as i dont think i have enough for the engines/frames i have
Bryanj:
I will be honest and say i dont know for certain exactly how many frame/engine combos i have and what bits i am missing

So, finally bit the bullet and removed the carbs yet again and went through the cleaning process (again) on carb 1, making absolutely sure that that the pilot jet and the passage ways serving it and the mixture screw were definitely clear.
good news! Having now reassembled everything the bike started with the smallest blip on the starter and after a minute or so to warm up was ticking over smoothly, albeit still a little high at 1400 - 1600 revs. But most importantly cylinder 1 was working properly!
I will take the bike out for a run in the next few days to see if everything else is OK, but I guess I still need to set up the idle adjustment properly (at the moment all four screws are just out by 1 1/2 turns).
I am sure I have seen some guidance on the forum for how to do that properly but can't find it now - does anyone have a link to the relevant thread?
