[QUOTE="Hicam, post: 128515, member: 3877"] Dave Lindsley did my mag as he had rebuilt a couple more of mine which have been ok but this one isn't, unfortunately. He did it about ten years ago but I have only just fitted it. He has agreed to have a look at it for me. I agree that the carbs are consumables and have a limited life as do many components on any motorcycle. Unfortunately, I like my bike to look original and replacing as many of the worn parts as possible on the carbs will improve them. Over £800 to replace them with new 376's isn't as attractive as just over £300 for a pair of 928 concentrics but then you have to modify the carb stubs to flange mounting. I will report back on the performance of my carbs (they may still have to be replaced!). [/QUOTE]
