Looks like it’s was originally glued in so I assume it’s ok to put some araldite on it?
Balanced the carbs and set up the TPS anyway.
Shame it’s still bloody raining or I’d have been out for a pootle.
Definitely better, and even the choke seems to have an effect.
hopefully its all sort4d now. Talking of muppet mistakes...my bro in laws xjr1300 had just that little bit more than mine off the line, I tried everything, including stripping the carbs and cleaning them thoroughly (twice), new inlet rubbers (36ys...the unrestricted fjr jobbies) new plugs, new airfilter, 4 degree ignition advancer. Only after doing all that did I think 'oh hang on...I wonder...' checked his gearbox sprocket and it was a 17t. mine was the stock 18. they both run identically now... :lol . all these years having bikes (passed me test in 77) and I still dont think to check the simple stuff first...good luck with the bike buddy
