Hi
Just overhauled carbs, started up and motorcycle running very rich. Any ideas how to adjust mixture strength.
Thanks

taysidedragon:
Check float levels, make sure choke is fully off when lever moved (it may need adjusting) and set airscrews about 1 and a half to 2 turns out from fully in.

Hi Gareth
Thanks for that, i have done that, I have even adjusted the air screws out 2.5 turns to weaken it further but still running rich.
Unless I re-strip the carbs and recheck float heights.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I'm a novice here - my first question is are the compressions good - does it fire up from cold easily? Do you have standard a air filter arrangement. If the answer is yes to all I would re-check float levels & needle positions - are the carb floats, needles original or good quality replacements?

Dave:
If running a standard carb setup, check under the seat. Is the air intake blocked / restricted?
