I know it may have caused a few disagreements but there was valuable information in my thread from Ken, Bryan, Nige and Ted regarding mixture screw settings. If this is how minor disagreements are dealt with I'm not sure this is the form for me, sure lock it but deleting it?! This has lost some useful information for users.
Youve done nothing wrong Dom, and tge thread was legitimate in its enquiry.
We can see the background and the division the question has turned up, but its a fundamental part of how these carburettor work, therefore pertinent to setup and running them.
Good overview was offered by different contribution, ultimately to each consensus here between us of just how this works.
Effectively, we've something of a peer group review from those on here from both different experience, different walks of life, independently offering their view. The question was answered with good reasoning and observation, in agreement, of how the flow is managed. I don't believe there was and controversy in that.
Clearly someone saw this as opportunity to exact their own bias and position as self appointed agent to overule anything in the way of further discussion, DR Santizer in this case (not a real doctor) with a whole litany of extreme views as to other's behaviour.
This it what was wrong.
I'll repeat the words I used, because it fully describes his actions. Ignorant of topic and Honda detailed instructions, such ignorance that he can't even see his mistake and its ramifications. Arrogance in now putting that view and insistence that we should all adhere to that misguided sermon. You really couldn't make this up.
Ted was bang on the money, indicating correctly that he has supplanted facts with anecdotal and solus experience in dictact of how anyone else should look at this topic.
That doesn't stand up to any reasonable scrutiny, but his actions are then aimed at prevent this being discussed on forum.
This , the setting of these carburettor subsystem are core fundamental part of maintaining these bikes. Making the topic so toxic, with those actions precludes any further realistic discussion with his presence.
DR should have been suspended from from for his actions. He still should if there's to be any pragmatic discussion and with any depth to form and view the operational effects of this function.
He even suggests putting a pipe up our rear orifice and listening for pops and bangs as alternative to Honda's "incorrect " instructions. Sounds like he's listening to his own "Farmer Giles " if you get my drift, and that euphemism
To delete the thread puts a serious mark on this forum's intent. For anyone who's time has been wasted in thinking, writing and editing content, that's not really excusable.
With his actions, he's now put himself in tbe position of others he claims to combat by this path. Specifically, wrong on topic, but denial of and avoiding observable facts in consideration of his very narrow band view.
There's very good reason in why DR is wrong, the disruptive, aggressive approach to now obscure that should not be part of a valued forum.
