carbs or fuel, drain carbs and fuel tank, fresh fuel - if still bad, its carbs.

if its carbs, you will ned to first check the pilot air screws are clean and set properly, if its still bad your gonna have to pull the carbs and clean the internals, as well as the individual jets - especially the 4 pilot jets

sig says it all, £25, i cant "set them up" unless you tell me what to do, i.e. "john, please shim the needles with 2 shims and put 105 mains in" i dont have your bike so i cant "tune" the carbs for you, but i can put them back to close to standard, i.e clean everything, check for damage, sonicate everything internally, set the floats to 11mm and the pilot air screws to 2 and 1/2 turns...you will need to tune them to your bike from these base settings.

if you want things changing, or there are damaged parts these will be extra at 'cost + 5%'

if you let me know where you live i might be able to ride up and help you to do a "seat of the pants" tune

when would you want the bike back? i only have a small garage so space is limited with 3 bikes in there already :D

it will take me a good day to clean the carbs fully, and ballance them, i am limited with what i can do as per a 'tune', as i have a limited number of different jets here, but we can sort your pilots and midrange out if nothing else :D

ill pm you my phone number, give us a ring tomorrow afternoon/evening and we can sort something out.

sorry, no spare fuel tap.
