Anybody in Bristol ....?

Post by Taz69 »

Hi all,

Is there anybody in Bristol who has a carb balancer and fancy giving me a hand of letting me borrow the unit?

I have a problem with my storm at the mo and its in need of having the carbs balanced but funds are tight at the mo so I cant just stick it in the shop and get it done.

On offer is good conversation, bacon buttys, tea/coffee or even a beer if your really local to BS10.

Thanks in advance

Chris, thanks for the link, I have printed that out, I was hoping someone might have been able to pop round and say yep its firing on 1 cylinder, misfiring etc etc.

Mark, if I lived nearer mate I would pop around and give you a hand. It's not that big of a job really. After you've done it once you'll find it easy the next time.

Chris, thanks for the offer chap, I think its more the case that as I have not done it before, I am just a bit worried that I don't do any damage.
