yes actually, i used the ultrasonic cleaner i got in aldi and heard to use vinegar, worked well, came out very clean, i put in the jets from the old carbs aswel and used the cleanest ones of all of them as 2 of the pilot jets from new carbs i got were blocked.
got them in and as standard setting bike was sluggish( as in 2 turns from seated on the idle screws,)
so i droped the needles one clip and made it worse as bike from standard settin g was spitting fuel from exhaust
so i raised them one clip from factory and bike ran better with better trottle response, so i then went on to adjust the idle screws untill the bike revved up .
i mean i adjusted the screws out(richer) until it ran better and the idle went up, was kinda tough to hear it though on the 1st and 4th cylinder, but got it fairly close, but i just cant get to the 3rd one, i can move it abit but i either burn my hands of the block and then i cant see what im at or adjust with a pointy nose pliers and it take about 5-10mins for one revolution so cant adjust fast enough to hear a change in the idle (which im told to listen out for)
bike still has dead spots but at times has full power and really have to hang on lol :b
iv used an allen key with a small socket and a small phillips head into the socket to turn it but its too big even at that as it hits the starter motor and is at too much of an angle to turn it, i have to go into a tool shop this week to find a way, there is a offset rachet set im told will do the job but i have my doubts, i also seen a carbtune 90 degree screwdriver but its a fortune.
very close now!!
on the plus was a dry day so got a bit of gunk degreaser to the bike and shes abit shiny-er now :eek
[size=78%]any ideas on adjusting that screw, im sure this problem has come up over and over again [/size]
