Hi

Need some advice pointers please

Got the old girl back on the road



Before she would not idle only run on two to three cylinders  from cold and generally run like a bag of nails unless you nailed the throttle to the stop
But after several carb rebuilds due to leaks etc and still more uneven running  (keeping the original brass wear)  she is running well to take to work every day

On cold starts and idle she sits there and tick over very smoothly but on pick up from idle it’s a little hesitant till about 2500 and then all seem ok

It’s got a Boyer ignition system coils and the other electronic bits and bobs and this is all timed correctly and done all the other checks and plugs look a little black  but not real sooty so I presume she is running a little rich




So would playing around with the air screws help or is there any other tips or tricks I could try?

Obviously the carbs are in theory 40 + years old and have 35k on them but wondered if I am missing anything obvious I need to check or adjust to improve this flat spot

Thanks in advance to all

Best wishes Al

I can't help with your issue as I am still a Tenderfoot on 400 fours but I do like the look of your bike - twin discs - bar end mirrors - I'm having a bit of a moment - bike pawn.

Yes really cafe style with the rear set and ace bars

Waiting for the single seat to arrive next

To my eyes, that plug looks quite sooty, so running rich. Clean the plugs, turn idle screws out, ride and recheck plugs. What are the air screws set at at the moment? Not all 4 air screws will be set at the same turns out by the time you have finished fettling.

They are the 2 1/4 turns out at the moment as din not want to lean here out too early without a plug chop first
