Erratic performance 5,000 rpm

[Bluefox]

No sirch mate,
Double checked 180 out issue (just incase) but that was ok,
gave the carbs one last go ,cleadned them out as best as i could,
set TPS (full adjustment without having to drill out brought it into spec....happy days),
bunged in a new air cleaner.
Unfortunatly fault is still there,incase you cant remember,it basically rides like its out of balance/fuel starvation when cruising)
Sadly its at the point i'm just hoping this thread will eventually be of some use to someone else,cause sadly there's no way i can
use this bike & enjoy it next season,looks like i'm gonna have to look into p/exing the old girl.
Last ditch attempt may be to either stick some other carbs on or invest in some new diaphrams (yes i have checked em,but cant see anything),
anyway i will post with any news good or bad,
thanks for all your help over the past years aswell

Petcock maybe. Just a wild guess. I don't want to read through this whole thread so when you say eratic, can you be more descriptive.

Bluefox, I'm sorry to hear no luck yet.

Re: 180* out issue:- Did you follow our procedure (which has been proven to be correct many times over) for checking the valve timing, or follow the Haynes manual?

I would carry out Cybercarl's suggestion if you've not already, if it turns out not to be that, then I would suggest you start a new thread of your own. Detail how this problem started, or when you started noticing it, may be you carried out some work on the bike Also write down everything you've tried so far.

By starting a new thread I'm hoping you will generate more activity, people don't always have the time to read through 5 or 6 pages to get here.
I appreciate your way of thinking in keeping things together for future references by others, but there's noting stopping us adding a link to this thread at a later date.

Chris.
