Well, that's buggered it!

Seems common problem - in my K1's case they may have been overtightened or fuel varnishing around the threads which has acted like 'Loctite'!

There's some debate on jet size on another thread I've got running.

Cheers,
Andrew

Spitfire:
It wasn't surprising on mine as the bike had sat in the garage for ten years while I worked away, the carbs were that full of gunge that I could not open the throttle.

The jets in mine were 40 and that is how the bike left the factory as I have owned it since new and the carbs have never been off before, mind you mine id an F1 so may be different to your bike

Cheers

Andrew-S:
That is pretty gungy Dennis, but not too bad considering - my K1 has been off the road since 2015 and luckily the fuel tap had been turn off so the carbs weren't too bad at first glance, so it'll be interesting to see what the insides are like.

Cheers,
Andrew

Andrew-S:
Gertcha!

This isn't my handiwork, I'm too heavy handed for such intricacies!  Well done Mark Kelleher of MK Classics in Woodley who used heat and more finesse that I can must muster......

Spitfire:
Happy for you, it's nice when it works out like that.

Cheers

Dennis
