They found water in the fuel tank before, only I don't have a clue how it got there. . . . . .
Cos there are cracks in the air intakes (like I said I am waiting for new ones) then maybe it is drawing in moist air into the carbs, turning into steam and then travelling up into the fuel tank and settling there as water. Could that happen?
I have tried using no choke, little choke etc etc etc, and it is temperamental. I don't put it on for long and start to decrease it as soon as I can.
The engine seems to struggle if the choke it too low, or off when starting. The needle won't stay at a steady rev, it'll go up and own.
When I get the new air intakes put in (expensive at £45 each!!) I will get them to check the ring around the petrol tank and replace.
After that, I am gonna be taking a few lessons in motorbike maintenance so I can (confidently) fix the rest myself . . . . .
The revs as you have all stated with the choke seem normal. (3.5k fully out, 2k half out, engine idle 750 when warm)
Hopefully when the new air intakes are fitted, all this bull crap will stop.
