    well I went and it was bloody freezing. Kept me speed down and went through Wigan, Omskirk = Southport. East lancs on the way back, but its always a traffic light GP along there!

    those spray bars needs cleaning. don't drill out the screw on the diaphram caps, use either a long gripper or try and get it in a vice and turn the carbs. my left carb leaked at first , but it fills the right carb too and mine stopped after a bit and has been fine ever since. try 27mm as a compromise. your still too lean! 3 turns out on pilot mix screw? BTW check that the pilot tip hasnt broken off in the carb, common on PO's who mess and tighten them up too much.

    why not run a multimeter over the connections to check continuity. A picture would help in diagnosing. a little hello would be great in new members section too!

    i got a chisel with a taper and use that. sometimes I need to refresh the tip on a grinder.

    wow, that's fortuitous. nice one

    spray bar is accessed when you take off the diaphram and mains inside the carb. It should just tap out through the diaphram side. its HZ in this diagram 32mm is wrong and 26mm will richen your carbs too. Its a known error with Haynes. 3 turns out for the pilot circuit mix screw.

    did you clean the spray bar, as you didn't mention it. If you have brass floats, the height should be 26mm top of float to top of carb body (with the carb upside down) sometimes the butterfly seals/bearings can wear (mikexs can supply those) if you have the later plastic floats, the float height is measured via a clear tube from the bottom float bowl (with fuel in) to within 2mm of the top of the float bowl. have you pod filters on the bike or running stock?
