hi john....welcome to the stuttering ccccccccclub,well you`ve covered most things....you did`nt mention float needle jet in the bottom of the carbs ,controls the flow of fuel to the float bowls,also worth checking the diaphrams,look for splits and make sure they are nice and flexible and that the needle is a nice smooth action....same symptons as my stutter,have you noticed it getting any worse the more miles you do ?

Hi red98. It was your problems that led me to the Forum. Yes it seems to get worse the more I thrash it. At the start of the ride it seems to be ok. Then after I have started to have fun and make sum rapid progress it will start to play up. I didn't check the float valves, Bugger. But everything was extremely clean. I am going to see if I can remove the Carb Tops without removing the Carbs themselves. I had a nightmare getting them out. I really struggled to get the forward throttle cable out. Any tips on that. Thanks for the quick reply.

hi john......top of the outside carb will come off easy without taking the carbs off the bike.have a close look at diaphram , stretch it gently to see if there`s any splits and is nice and plyable (is that a word  :o )[size=78%]  also check that the slider is free to rise and fall in the body of the carb,whilst its out pop the needle out and note the position of the needle circlip...looking at one of the carbs will give a good idea on how the rest are,at that mileage i cant see it being a problem....yes the cables are tricky,pull the carbs out slaken both nuts and pull cable from metal bracket.thread cables down between carbs which will give you enough slack to hook the nipple out...helps if you have two pairs of hands [/size] :rolleyes [/size][size=78%].....its worth wrapping a bit of rag around the generator cover and resting the carbs on that while you remove the cables....i put a small scratch on mine when i first pulled them out [/size] :'(

[/size][size=78%] as db has mentioned check your electrics...lift the tank and have a good poke around the fuse box and behind the side panel , looking for loose connections and any moisture,check the cable that runs through the gennie housing,blue/yellow and three white wires mine were in a bad way and could be the cause of my stutter.......best to take the cover off and peel back the grommet for a proper look.......all simple checks which wont cost you anything [/size]   do you have a haynes manual ?[/size][size=78%]  [/size]
