Rob we've said it before there are lots of people on this forum who know stuff.
The point is we can share it and EVERYONE benefits.

But I do wish some of you guys lived a bit nearer............I could have a nice little business on the side.

I think I've only seen one other guy on here from Northern Ireland

Not by trade but nearly 30 years experience of working on them.
And about 14 years working on race bikes.
plus 11 years of racing myself

excellent, maybe you could tell me if i changed the plugs would it stop the engine goin off a cylinder below 4000 revs?

Is it always the same cylinder?

Might be a problem with carb on that cylinder

Best man near you is Philip McCallen.

Flooding carbs could be the o ring behind the float valve seat.
What age is your bike
Or maybe the float height ned reset

You need to work them out mate. cant remember how tho. I think its reccomended spacing, minus the current spacing, then yo add that different to your current and that gives you the size you need.......

insurerman · Post by **insurerman** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:06 pm

Ok, wots the recommended spacing and how can i measure that tiny little space?? Cant i just gamble on puttin the recommended ones in and c how it goes??
