well spotted fazerider ......a split like that would indeed affect the mixture big time,mine are ok,but will double check to make sure ,just need to backtrack a bit now and see what i find thanks for your input matey,did you notice the difference now your carbs are all pulling together
Haven't had the time to test it yet, Red.
The bike's been misfiring very occasionally, not just missing a beat but quite violent... a neutral throttle, chugging along at about 3000rpm and suddenly it's like a cylinder has fired 45º early and pushes backwards. Saturday, I went through most of the electrics, cleaning and tightening the odd suspect connection and did the carb balance and TPS today.
The fact that the misfire only happens when the throttle is near closed made a carb balance an obvious thing to do (particularly 'cos I hate doing that job and had put it off until it was long overdue), but they weren't really that far out of adjustment. So, I can't say I've found anything that really looks like the cause of the problem yet. Anyway, I'll find out soon enough. Though not tomorrow. When I work on the bike the fecking car gets jealous and so blew it's exhaust as I set off to visit my mum yesterday.
Enjoy your day off, sounds like it's well-deserved.
