[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 1123, member: 109"] Hi Vic, Nice to meet you Sunday, thanks for the interest and reply. They are original Amal inch 1/16th (I think that's what you call them) although they have been put together using Series D bolt on manifolds at some point in their life. The throttle is a two cable job, and I've checked routing and both cables are operating pretty freely and there are no right spots. There are adjusters on the cables close up to the throttle body. Now - balancing carbs with a two cable throttle - how do you go about doing that then!!!! I'll give people a few laughs on this Forum with my very low level of knowledge as yet - but I'm keen to learn. The CBR 1000 4 carbs get balanced with a gauge when they go tot the garage, and the Ducati has fuel injection. I know the principles but the library is growing only slowly, Know Thy Beast and Riders Handbook so far. On an issue like this one I'd prefer to get some proper help rather than risk damage, you can do some serious stuff running too lean/rich can't you? Cheers Stuart [/QUOTE]
