Yeah, if you end up with time to do it, it would definitely be a good idea to make another change in the same direction, and see if it improves even more, and if so, continue until it worsens... this is a little time consuming, and can be a pain in the tail, but such is life with carbs!

Sorry guys. My backup HD bit the dust a while ago almost the same time as me getting rid of the server that these pictures were on. Bad timing/luck.

I also no longer have anything but fuel injected bikes so I can't retake the pics.

If anyone with an F2 wants to spend the time with me, and is somewhat confident, I can guide you while you retake pictures to replug them back into the thread. You would need some minor photo editing abilities too so that the numbers listed in the write up are pointed out in the pictures.

If no one else volunteers I could do it when I service mine but it's gonna take a few months to get it on the stands, don't want bits of two bikes laying around at once.

I've currently got my carbs sitting on the work bench. I already cleaned them up, but I have a jet kit coming in soon, so I can take pics related to the walk through and disassemble and reassemble them.
I wont be able to do the first few though, but instead start where the rubber collars are removed from the block.

That shouldn't be a problem, you can just do the 1st pics when putting the bike back together.

It would be easier for you to take the pics, send them to me, and let me number/mark them in photoshop, rather than try to tell you how to mark them. I'm reading through the write up and, now that I look at it, trying to figure out wtf I was talking about years ago and figuring out what you should take a picture of will be hard enough haha.

PM me know when you want to do this. We can do it over email rather than clog the thread up.
