A faked drain plug with a tube , for a piece of 3/16 bore neoprene tube , should get the float level visual - as long as you dont set fire to anything .
always thought I shouldve put a steel joining bar between the carbs , on the two tapped holes in the back of each .
You could even go crazy & put long mounting rubber tubes , and mount the Carbs to the Frame , rather than the engine .
Really , flicking a Choke OFF , from say half on should give a distinct / observable alteration in beat . The olde stutter - miss for too lean & the brupp brupp burupp rythmic beat when veering rich . Not to mention the black smoke .
Of course its got the viton tipped needles & the float levels are checked . and the floats arnt out to lunch with the new wonder fuel . No air leaks in the top cap / covers either .
Most of the electronic ignitions come in fully advanced around there , 2000 / 2500 - which is a bit early really . Can make it a bit crankey / stuttery with the clutch fully engaged across the transition trailing to leading throttle .
the cures to give it grief and hold 25 to 3000 where the clutch is fully engaged .
would blow out the cobwebs anyway . :twisted: If this doesnt work you really do have a problem . Bar dont let it idle on the sidestand ,
as the lefts downhill - so the excess oil & petrol has a excuse to migrate there , leant over . the old ' taps off ' stopped to - with the sidestand in use , for much the same reason - let alone a cylinder of petrol .
tecnically you can tell the differance between Oil & fuel BLACK on the plug - as oils shiney & petrols sooty .
If its all spiffing and new , it might just want a decent spin in the country to settle in , before you get around to ' fine tuneing ' , as theyre freer loosened of - engines that is , not to mention beded in .
Throw a Comp guage on warm , to see if both cylinders are dead even . :?
They were refered to as ' smooth Bores ' developed to out carburate the Mikunis . being British theres a step in the ' smooth bore ' where the castings mate . if it were real irregular or the air tubes there are not 1000% it could be awkward .
Smoothing matching and polishing the bellmouths / flared intakes to bore , wont slow it down . Check those holes for flash or dregs as some are the float chamber pressure vents . Typical concentric was sticking float , the rubber hoses are the
suckers thatd go to the carbon canister on a car - to clean the nasty petrol fumes . As in they should be unrestricted when blown into .
What PLUGS are you running / might just want warmer ones in Town , If your not holding it at Redline off the Lights .
:mrgreen: 36 is probly the equivilant of a 38 mk 1 , so ' WE' are into the equivilant of the Goldie with the 1 1/2 Carb .
Id useually let the Cars get a length before letting in the clutch so as not to ram them letting it it , otherwise it was to low a rpm to carburate properly as its not set up for TRIALS rideing . Once underway it was stuttery below 2000 but would pull from 1100 , with SLOW Ign Adv , with 32 mk IIs on the 750 . So Im thinking your going to be virneir increments on the throttle below say 3000 , matching the position to the revs , just leading . should be right from 35000 .
maybe you need a Six speed .
:lol: :lol: or move to the Country :mrgreen: There seemed to be some debate as to wether the Traffic lights were just ' advisory ' or otherwise . :wink:theyre not these damn self adjusting c.v. whizz bang carbs .
