Looking forward to your report Sprock. I'm interested to hear what your thoughts are about any improvement in starting and running. What will the seat of your pants make of the alterations?
Given my general lack of enthusiasm for working on carbs unless absolutely necessary, could you tell us the exact set up you've settled on. Jet size, needle shims etc. If your set up works well we can at least have a new benchmark set up to work from should we feel inclined to dabble.
Hope the snow's cleared in both country's of residence now.

Might have to wait a bit Henry old son - off on a trip in the other direction this week
and I plan on juggling a few sets of carbs between my 1990 ( which I think I over jetted
a smidge) and my 87 which has the 1990's original carbs.

Post up a few pics later tonight tho.

You and Hawk...... seems like neither of you stay on the ground long enough to get a ride in!
We'll await your verdict on the rejecting and general tinkering with bated breath.
