DANG IT!!
« on: February 16, 2017, 04:01:13 PM »
I have been having a slight surging issue at high speed so I was clear tubing my PD's and noticed that 1 & 4 were a touch high.  So I pulled the bowl on 1 and one of the bowl screws came out with all the threads.... :o

Mable's now down till I repair/replace #1 carb body, bad day.  >:(

The farmers fix would be a bigger diameter screw and a tap to match.

I found a longer screw for now and will probably go up to 5mm and retap.

I got the rack back on the bike and put gas to them...no leaks, while it's this far apart I'm just going to do a full maintenance on her, plugs, valves, time, and adjustments.
