[QUOTE="Chris S, post: 81364, member: 3239"] At least the above confirms that I am not misunderstanding or losing the plot, although my wife says I am always doing that! Thanks for all the input. I have a new pair of 3's arriving today and I will check the cutaway as they are out of the box. I reckon they come out of the box a shade below 4mm cutaway, which is spookily close to 5/32" equating to 2.5 cutaway. Don't know why, but at least I can increase the cutaway by hand until it is where I want it. I have done this on many slides and the old rule applies - measure twice, file once and keep checking. As Greg says, finish on a surface plate and all should be well. Once I get my carbs sorted, I reckon I will have some standard 4's and some modified 3's (3.25 and 3.5) spare which if anyone needs to borrow them to try to sort out their carbs before spending money with Burlens or the spares club, then let me know.
