Ivan kit and revisit to cold starting

[NitramA]

Extending the bit by a few mils does alter the angle of the cut and that's fine.  Too far, though, and the bit becomes more likely to snap.  This is not a good thing ...

You're doing great so far.  Have you found the online guides to doing the installation?  Which kit are you fitting?

With 2 holes enlarged per carb, I suggest you turn the mixture screws out by 4 turns initially.  This isn't what you find recommended elsewhere but it's what I found worked best over time.

I’m using the one for the slip on silencer - even though mines still running a standard system.


I found extending the drill bit helps a bit as it does seem to make it easier to use.
I also got to number 3 carb and found out the reason for my problems. Basically I needed to grow a pair!


I took the taking your time and don’t use excessive force too far and was fannying around too much.
If I upped the pressure (slightly) and increased the rotation speed a bit it went through and dropped/became tight as described.
Went back to the other holes and they all went through as expected. What a Tw*t!


I did set the air screws to 4.75 turns out but if you think I should go with 4 I’ll definitely give that a go.


And Ogri - thanks for the words of encouragement. I didn’t realise how lonely a garage can be when you don’t know what you’re doing  :lol
