Cool thanks!!!

Well, it's been a mission (see here if you have the stamina... http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=33463&hilit=troubleshoot ) but she's up and running with a new RR, MCCTs, a Moriwaki style belly pan and a pair of spangly GPR stainless cans. I've done about 600 shakedown miles ...

I wonder how much weld is intruding and disrupting gas flow :think: Now she's running well, I'm going to get a pair of race cans and give her a good clean up. I have a pair of DJ needles out of another set of carbs but I have 190 mains, so I might order some smaller mains and have a play with those....

Does this welding on the collector look original or has it been repaired?

Good news on the new set of carbs. I still think the issue was with the needle valve as you where getting a puddle which is more than just running rich. Not sure which vacuum valve your referring to, maybe the air cut off valve which cuts off one of the air bleeds (top of carb where v stack fits), ...

Still not right....obviously now firing on 2, much better and rideable in the mid and upper rev range but still overfuelling at the bottom end and not really responsive to pilot screw changes, particularly on the front carb. Riding at 80mph on the motorway I could actually feel ther motor becoming l...

Good news on the coil. :thumbup: Regarding pilot screw adjustment is the following right? What you have there makes no sense to me, setting to highest idle and then richening it up more! Maybe if it was an air screw (two stroke) that may work but not with a fuel screw. Opening the screw allows more...

OK folks, we have a winner!!!! Intermittantly faulty ignition coil. Got a replacement today, and have ridden about 20 miles with no popping backfiring stalling or other bad behaviour! Feels a little flat at low revs-pulling away and out of tight second gear turns, but clears over 3000rpm and pulls w...

I really hope so!!!

Is it possible for the front coil to be breaking down under load and causing these symptoms? Very Possible. I seem to remember quite a few ignition packs being killed by folk unscrewing their plugs and testing the spark on the side of the engine. Before you do swap them over have one last look at t...

So near yet so far... The good...bike ticks over, revs freely, no leaks, sounds sweet. TPS at 506 ohms, carbs balanced, new battery, new r/r. Tested charging system all ok The bad...on test ride its like a bucking bronco. One cylinder chopping in and out. Pulled the plugs, rear plug nice and tan col...

'Carb fart' - quite normal but that one in the vid is doing it a bit more than usual. yeah , mines done that for the last 5 years. does it need mending ?? Everything I've read suggests checking the valve clearances, cleaning and balancing the carbs, setting the TPS to 500 ohms, setting the pilot sc...

bloody hell, what have I done??

I only mentioned topics lols

Ahh thanks, not heard that before.

It explains all...well when they manage to keep it on topic anyway lols!!

Does anyone have an answer for what fault causes a Firestorm to idle like the one in the video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87o1_wEd07E This is not my bike but mine does exactly this. I've spent a fair bit of time fine tuning my pilot screws but I can't get rid of it so I'm thinking it's not a...
