ok well good news and bad news...
good news! had some time today so thought sod it ill take the carbs out and check the jets...
looked in the jets and 2 pretty much completely blocked! blow through and perfect! checked all the others and they was fine... ( out of interest i guess the idle jet is the long one with the holes in the side..?)
so put it all back together about a hour or two ago... fired up and perfect! balanced the carbs and sorted! idled lovely revved up perfect..
now the bad news...
locked up the garage pulled away and miss fired... didn't take much noticed then it go worse and worse so pulled up in a petrol station to see if i didn't put something on or caught something and the vacuum pipe for cylinder three was not sealed to pushed the bolt in properly... went to start the bike and nothing! just turning over , checked for spark.. all good..
then it smelt flooded so put my headphones in and watched some videos on my phone went to start and nothing , twisted the throttle a little and bang on it come but only on 3 with one not firing at all and wouldn't rev up... then looked underneath and fuel poring out the overflow from the air box! anyway managed to get it back to the garage (very slowly) and quickly pulled the plugs and no.4 is dripping wet so now the new problem...
.Stuck float? i was adjusting the levels again to day and all was perfect! ( read they shoudl be 4mm over the float bowl seam??) so guess that or what?
.Also when i pulled all the plugs they are all running rich (black) i set the pilot screw on the bottom to two turns out but when i bought the bike they was 3? it seems to run fine when it is but was jsut wondering is screwing in or out making it richer or leaner...?
so now im sitting in the office at work waiting to be picked up and ill get a boring train into work tomorrow and pull the carbs again...
