More carb troubles, engine won't return to idle revs
Orcade-Ian:
Going back to Bill's problem of the bike refusing to return to idle, I think I've read all replies to your original post (hope I didn't miss any!). I hope you will forgive me if I'm stating the 'bleedin' obvious' but is the FB spring in the middle of the bank between 2&3 present, correctly attached and not badly stretched?

Good shout Ian.SB says the slides snap shut (closed). Worth checking again I suppose?
Are you back home from your jaunt? If so I’ll post the gods on Thursday.
Orcade-Ian:
Not back just yet, was supposed to be on the boat tomorrow evening but due to adverse weather it's been re-scheduled for 13.15 - no chance of making that from Aberdeenshire, so have moved it to Wednesday. One of the joys of living on an Island! PM me with the total cost with P&P and I'll fire some brass to you. Hope Bill gets sorted.

Return spring between 2 and 3 carbs is in place and snaps back really fiercely, when operating by hand have to mind your fingers!
Orcade-Ian:
That's good Bill,
It was just a 'clutching at straws' thought. I've recently done 2 sets (one 350/4 and one 400/4) right down to completely bare carb bodies without problems, so have been racking my (admittedly rather old) brains to figure what might be wrong with yours.
