The interesting thing to me is that there seem to be an awful lot of these bikes that suffer from this particularly as they get older. No-one really seems to ever completely solve the problem and it seems that people either learn to work around it or change settings as I have done to partly mask the problem. People clean carbs and set valves and replace rubbers, jets and inlet rubbers but still the problem persists. People say you can’t clean some of the fuel passages because they are hidden but that is not correct. Every hole was drilled from either end or both ends and a piece of wire will fit in any passage so I really don’t believe everyone is running around with dirty carbs. There must be something underlying that everyone is missing.
