Strange fault

The needles could be worn. They get a "step" in them.

Not thought about that after all they are 30 plus years old... but would that not make for a rich mixture?? i will have a look. are these parts still available?
thanks for your help Flc.

16012-404-004 if you can find them, the 404 means its a 750 auto part so good old USA may be the best place to search

Thanks for that byranj, im hoping i dont need them ive lifted the needles one notch (only one more left) and she seems cured lovely cruise at any throttle position, strong acceleration, bit fluffy just off stop but i think the float setting of 12.5 is a missprint as the float looks level at 14mm when im next off i will set them back to 14.
but im happy now and its a blast to ride.
I would like to thank all who have helped, its been a long trial/test.
i have just got home from work and its p~+@?ng it down and i now have a water based missfire ::) you couldnt make it up :D
looking under the tank in the dark was like a scene from star wars, its more like a monsoon out so cant really blame the bike.
more later, a happy Flc.

Careful how you read the "supplement" the 500 and 550 K3 have different settings
