I got a day pass yesterday for being a good boy so spent some quality time on the bike.
After much messing around with a vernier gauge I just couldn’t get repeatable measurements, so in the end bought a float height tool from flea bay for £15 which helped a lot.
So kit fitted, carbs back on, temporary fuel tank set up, Choke on, pressed the starter and up she comes!!! :rollin :rollin :rollin
Couldn’t quite believe it.
Still have to balance the carbs and set up the throttle sensor but everything seems to be working as it should.
Just to prove I can still be a muppet, despite my best efforts I managed to mix up the float bowls for cylinders 1&4.
So now I’ve got the custom look with both outside carb drain plugs being inboard. Not that I’m too bothered.
Really happy I’ve got this far and thanks again to Mike and Paul for their support through this.
I’ll be better at it next time....
