Thanks rob, did that.
This is 100% operator error.Maybe old guages have something to do with it. 4 strokes arnt 2 strokes. Im in over me head.
I spent an hour messign around with it, getting different readings all the time. The guages came off ebay and had no damping knobs so i was slowly kinking the tube to get a reading. i got 1 and 2 in, then couldnt get 3 and 4 very close, but got 123 in basically. But it was a hash up. And I had to play around with the idle knob so much to stop it over revving or dropping out when i was trying to balance the vaccuums that now it doesnt work at all its gone loose.
And now the bike definately sounds different. It sounds almost like a slight missfire. cant explain the noise but its rougher. I took her out for a spin and it runs ok i guess, had a hoss with a bmw cl 230 and a merc and it was fine but the tick over is worrying me .
No chugging now though. Perhaps its running better im just not used to it / worrying... afternoon tinkering became nightmare. I travelled up to milton keynes to get them off a biker family with 7 bikes so i dont think they sold me a duck in the gauges. BTW anyone round luton Milton keynes the A4012 from Hockley onto the A5130 up through woburn and woburn sands - great road.
Anyone in the vicinity of Luton who perversly likes this kind (ie carb balancingsomeone elses bike

) of thing I'll provide food and tea
