the limit of exploitation of the pilot screws...
Posted: Fri Oct 09, 2020 2:00 pm
so... I had my carbs off for a good bougie the other month and when I came back to getting them back on and the bike running it just didn't want it... it was running way to slow and cutting out. I would mess around with the throttle adjustment screw how ever couldn't get it just right and ended up running way to fast and getting way to hot. so to that end I decided to balance the carbs via the pilot screws.
I wish I would have checked the amount of turns out available when I had the carbs off because I'm now at about four turns out and flapping that when I get it on the road again once I've sorted the breaks the screws are just going to fall out...
All the carbs are at about four turns out and I've still had to use the throttle adjustment screw slightly. I'm running a black widow exhaust but that's the only non stock item.
is anyone else at four or more turns out or have you been and its gone totally Pete Tong once you've taken it out?
many thanks
