Hello from Sunny Sussex in the united kingdom !
I know what nightmares the carbs & their settings can be & although my bike is up & running, I still have a problem.
Bike is a 78B2A (with vm24's fitted, as I took advice from here & jettisoned the 22's!!!
I've done a top end rebuild as had a hairline crack on the cylinder head which was leaking oil from the oil supply to the cams etc.
I've checked the timing & done the valve clearances (great fun those shim things) took the carbs 100% to bits, ultrasonic cleaned them, rebuilt , synced them, colourtuned the pilots (bloody brilliant tool)
Fitted & checked the carb inlet rubbers (ok no leaks) new denso 24 plugs, std air filter & a Jardine 4 into 1 exhaust ( loud but nice)
My problem is my mid range is very poor, especially when the bike gets warm.
She runs great on low throttle openings & accelerates fine on pilots, but when I open up to above 1/4 throttle , it's not so good. Once I'm above 3/4 she kicks in great & I've been up to 105 mph with a lovely exhaust noise for those behind me !
Spark plugs don't look bad to me (see photo)
Tried choke on when accelerating, but doesn't seem to make any difference.
Standard pilots, needle in no 4 & 102.5 main jets fitted. Done the float wet levels check & they're perfect. Last thing, compression test readings are brilliant, as per the manual top readings.
Thanks in advance.
By the way, my bike is an import from America so thanks to your nice weather, it's still in pretty great condition.
