Upload your pics/videos to somewhere like photobucket.com and share the links.

Cheers Lester...

Gawd, uploading pics enough of a palaver for me..., when I next get to my bike (late Sept), and assuming the alternative cam-tensioning method doesn't 'silence it'... then maybe the audio link will be the way to go.

Cheers,
Simon

Cheers Steve,

Tho' not as bad I think this is it! I've not actually felt the exhausts early on after start, ie by the time I have done this the bike has been revved & all too hot to linger & assess. Home again mid month & will investigate further.

Make sure you post 'the fix'. Were your cabs rebuilt with pattern of OEM parts / needles?

Hi Simon,

The metal work all seemed good. I fitted new viton O-rings throughout. I made some new felt rings for the slide pivots. Everything else is original except I have new swapped the fuel valve, pilot fuel jet and float from spare carbs onto the pot 2 carb.

I think I'll throw on my spare carbs just to see what happens. I can't help thinking the is a small fuel or air passage in the carb somewhere that is still blocked with crud, even though everything seems to blow through OK with an aerosol of carb cleaner. They haven't be ultrasonically cleaner. Perhaps that is going to be the way to go.
