Re: How to balance your carbs

Well, as I said previously it seems like one job leads to another. While I was sorting out the vacuum pipe I thought I might as well find the reason why the choke didn't work. This is what I pulled out the carb.
Guess I'm buying new starter valve sets.

Re: How to balance your carbs

Re: How to balance your carbs

Thanks Hawk, but my problem is that where the pie goes into the carb it appears to be sheared off and I don't know where or how to route a new pipe

Opinions on colour

Hi guys
Just want an opinion on the colour, v5 says silver but I'm thinking red or white, I was quoted ££400 for just the tank in the original red so tried this as an experiment

Never mind, there's a pair of stanchions on ebay that I should be able to make a pair of forks out of.

Re: what have you done to your "bike" today

Put the seat unit on to see if I like it in white, it's silver on the v5, painted in yellow emulsion by previous owner so i bought a set of red fairing plastics but they're 3 different shades.

Re: Choke

Thanks Mac
Tried everything bar the strip down, personally I think the previous owner/owners have mullered it so with the rest of the issues it looks like I'm bikeless till next year, teaches me a lesson about trusting people I guess.

Choke

Hi guys I'm stripping down 'old yeller' as the previous owner must have been a right muppet, the choke only comes out about 1/4" and does absolutely nothing. I can't see any reason it's being stopped but was wondering if there was something inside the carbs that could be causing it. It looks li...

Re: Velocity stacks

I figured the arrows had to match up and they even put R and F on them and still got it wrong, kinda worried now what else I'll find.
