Strange fault
mickwinf:
thanks for info have ordered some from siriusconinc hope it solves problem !
deltarider:
For all you people that are dealing with slow jets... You can clean them, boil them, leave hours in carbcleaner, treat them with lemon juice, have them listening to ultrasound and... well what not. You can attack them with a copper strand. But they don't wear, at least mine didn't in over 130.000 kms, so why buy new?
Bryanj:
Cos ive had two recently that no matter what i did (couldnt get hold of nuclear deterant) stayed stubbornly blocked with something---possibly a PO's attemt at wire cleaning but who knows and Srius don't charge a fortune for them considering the limited maket they have
mickwinf:
i agree with you bryan, mine seem like they are solid in the middle, whatever i try dosn't work, so new it is! It seems carbs dont like to be left for years not used, not for 28 years anyway!
flc:
Thanks to help from bryanj i have now got 4 standard pilots, after fitting the bike runs much better low down, and accelerates strong, BUT....
i still have a mid throttle weak spot which is only apparent whilst cruising.
the only thing left is needle clip position or maybe needle taper,
i hope its the former as i can alter it, the taper means a searching for the holy grail (possibly)
So off with the carbs again.
more later Flc
