Also, i'm not sure if there are fuel filters on those carbs. It might be worth investimagating and taking that out (2) and cleaning, they are normally on the carb where the fuel line attaches. The 2 screws on the springs are the synchronisation screws, you can adjust the butterfly valves until they look the same, but you would need to find the clearances. (i'm hoping people will correct me if i'm wrong)
As always a plethora of information, all of which I will follow and report back........with pictures......lots of pictures. ........legends every one.........
Afternoon all..........just spotted this bike and just had to share it with you......in my humble opinion its the best I've see yet......just looks perfect........
Aaahhhhhhh.!!!!!!!!!......small mistake......the chap that built the Rocket 3 is actually Spanish.......apologies to all Italians.....other nationalities are available...........
Ok fellas....big question.....can I fit a 2016 Thruxton R petrol tank to my Sprint frame.........a simple question I know and I throw myself on your knowledge the the wife of a biking on her husbands funeral pyre............Jennoe
That should of course read ....." like the wife of a Viking on her husbands funeral pyre..".........don't you just love predictive text........ And yep...some of the best paintwork I've see...........
Good evening my wise and valued friends............I believe the word I'm looking for is Eureka...!!!!!!!!!!!............I think I've discovered the carb issue..........if you study the following picture you'll notice that the small spring on the left hand adjustment is in the wrong place..........t should be between the two tabs and not between the screw and the tab.......it was therefore actually keeping the butterfly slightly open instead of closed........the right hand one the same. This has now been addressed and they will be fitted onto the bike tomorrow for another trial start...........wish me luck fellas........BANZAI...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers fellas .........earplugs in about 11.00 am..........trust me when I say....if she starts..you'll hear me.........
Well..!!!!!!!!........there was definitely lots of shouting..but only in frustration...........still no .....Bbrrrrruuuuuuuummmmm......... In the back of my mind I still think she's turning over to slowly.........not to worry.....back to the beginning......
Might seem a bit of an obvious one have you got the clutch lever pulled in with side stand down as switch on clutch that prevents the bike starting.
also vacuum points on carbs need blanking odd you have cap on one, rubber tube on other and the 3rd is open !!
