#1 Unread post by slim1861 »

Ive just done a overhall of the carbs didnt find much crud I put them back together as I thought but i put the bottom bowls on the wrong carb ooooooops lol so after a lot of swearing I got them together again put em on the bike but now its running abit rich the plugs are black sooty it will idel for a while but soon clogs up so i clean them up & she runs fine when I take it out on the road its fine and pulls as she should but when i come to a junction it cuts out and wont start again what have i done and how can i rectify this problem........ Would squirting carb cleaner in it do any good?
Cheers John

You probably altered the float heights. Return them to normal and everything should be okay.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
