Got a set of carbs!! Very clean compared to my last set, all was taken apart, inspected and put back together, had a fuel leak in 2 bowls (seals weren't doing the job) but I used 2 of the bowls I already had from last set, so I tightened the idle mixture screws in till seated and turned out 2 full turns, set the tps, adjusted the carb synch screws until they were all fairly even(by sight) will get the proper carb tune tomorrow,
...... But went to start the bike, wudnt turn over even though it was still warm from the last run I gave it on the last carbs, so I went on using full choke but then died, so I opened the fuel mix screws 1 turn each and it ran, bit poor though, so I opened them again a half a turn and it ran ok ish but still everytime I give throttle it smothers and at that setting I have fuel spitting out of the exhaust, so I turned the mix screws back down and it cuts out,
So took them out, checked everything, passages and air compressed out everything, looks too clean to have blockages but done it all the same, so set idle screws to 2 turns from seated again and put back it, almost started and tried starting by giving throttle and half throttle and full throttle but it made it worse, only starts on choke and no throttle????
Any ideas guys?
