back to topic-

I've received DD's carbs already...

Findings.....an immediate, as received wet test revealed a very high float level on the RH carb (ta-da!) I suspect worn float valve tab spring and/or poor setting by someone prior, I'll see when I replace the float valves and setup.

Various vac hoses very loose at 4 points....very possible source of vac leaks when hot.

Synch was slightly off, rail orings were flat...

I think the high float level in the RH carb is the bad guy here....the reason why adjusting his rh pilot screw had no effect, and the bike ran better when the LH side was leaned (the LH side right on the edge of being high, too.)

Otherwise will come out mint, in & out. All new orings, float valves, likely vac hoses, proper setup (where I'll make corrections) , stainless buttonhead screws icing on the cake .....we shall see.
