Bonny, thanks heaps!
EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Thankyou to all who responded.
No-one told me where to set anything.
I basically did the mods, bought all the bits (including some very small washers from my local electronics store (for the shims)) then took to the highway with a small flat blade screwdriver and a spark plug socket. Pullin over to tune the fuel / air screw for "best". Incidentally, "best" was basically just trying to tune out a big lean spot.
Installing the 45 pilots made a huge STEP CHANGE. I realized I'd wasted so much time fooling around trying to tune for all these other combinations.... BUT, It's just that little too rich. Bogs down a bit at idle. Runs rich through out the entire throttle range.... but if I tune it down a little - there it is - my flat spot!
Problem was trying to get rid of it without having so much fuel in other throttle positions that you could actually "smell" that it's running rich. Anyone else recognise that "running too rich stink"? Like I stated, it's pretty good now - just think I'll look for OPTIMUM.
I did not take long to realise that Premium UNLEADED fuel does not allow you to tune a bike as I used to. The bloody plugs just don't change colour as they did!!
Anyway from all possible combinations I got to the point where I am now. No lean spots - a little too rich on idle - and a little too rich at all other throttle positions. If I tune it down a just a bit, there it is .... that annoying lean spot.
Bonny, I'm going to bite the bullet and purchase some Thruxton needles and start the process all over again.
Man, if I had a dollar for every time I pulled these carbies to bits.
Anyone else run Thruxton needels?
