Finally managed to get the time to put the carbs back on and fire it up.Do they work now? Do they fuck!
This is the spare set I bought to tide me over while my originals were sent away for a re-con. Only to find they pissed petrol out all over my engine because the float valves were fucked.
I changed them, and put them back on the bike three weeks later (I still have zero time to myself as explained earlier), and the bike just will not fucking fire up.
On top of this, I didn't bother sending the original carbs away because I had to spend the cash insuring my wife's car, so I'll have to do that now and have another month at least without a bike.
Maybe the TPS needs setting or something, that's the only thing I can think of off the top of my head. Or maybe the diaphragms are bollocksed on these carbs.
