Davelu88:
Hi all , trying to get my bike to run properly!! , however the idle is hanging slightly and I constantly  have to adjust the idle screw when I restart the bike .also my air box has fuel in it . I have checked the plugs and they are very black but not oily just sooty , also the main jets in there are 100 ,should they be 98 and would these cause too much fuel , its got a kerker exhaust on it so  not sure why the previous owner has put 100s in . Any help appreciated.

Oddjob:
Can you see the carb number Dave, is it 069A or 627B?

Davelu88:
They are 069a ones .

Oddjob:
They should be 98 main and 38 slow. I suspect the PO also altered the clip position which would account for the black plugs.

Davelu88:
Thanks Ken , what about the fuel in my air box there must have been a couple of  eggcups full in there .
