Hi Kurt,

It runs again! Last time it was a pig to start, and after rebuilding the carbs again it just started!

I now have all 4 throttle pumps squirting on first movement of throttle,( one was blocked, and one carb the ball bearing valve had stuck open so I only had one before ), and it idles perfectly at 900rpm all 4 venturis reading 4.8 kg/h ( don't know what that is in real money ) on my cheap and cheerful manometer, and it moves. This is a huge improvement.

However, it's still awful to drive down low... over 3,500rpm it seems much better, but below it's spitting and farting and generally choosing a random 2 cylinders to run on.  I'm not sure how to tune it under load, which is where it's misbehaving.

What next? Please don't make me take the carbs off again!

Cheers,


Steve
