Well this is what happened over the weekend:
Replaced the plugs.
Cut 5mm off the end of each plug lead and refitted the caps so they don't just spin freely.
Set the TPS, it was out.
Tried to balance the carbs but they are so far out of whack that number 2 managed to suck all the oil out of my makeshift balance tool.
I could mess around with it and make it work i'm sure but since i really want to have the bike balanced before i go to work tomorrow (i rode it today and it's well a bit rough) i'll probably just go buy some vacuum gauges on the way home. I can get away with just two gauges to sort the bike out so yeah...
The only adjustment i managed to do before the bike decided to gulp the oil down was a slight tweak on 1-2...those screws on the adjustment are damn sensitive actually!
So anyways tonight....balance it, live the dream of smooth running...woo.
