carbs set up
« on: 04 October 2014, 01:17:26 pm »
Hi
Is there anyone in the Manchester area that can set the carbs up, or know of a garage that can, cheaply
As far as I know they are balanced, just need the fuel mixture setting
Thanks

use a gunson colortune

or

turn each pilot screw fully in (not overtighten) then two turns out. starting with cylinder 1 turn out until the sound of the engine changes and starts to hunt/miss. should only be maybe 1,2 at most. from this position turn the screw in - the engine will recover - keep going until the engine hunts/misses again - count the turns whilst doing this. Turn the screw back out again HALF the number of turns you just counted.

Do the same for cylinder 2,3 and 4.

The colourtune is better though , but the above will do
