[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 127061, member: 597"] Thanks Mike, I was a bit suspect of a weak spring, so I added another short length of a stronger spring to help.........The lower feed tube and the upper tapper needle seem to be offset in the housing slightly to the rear of the carb........this seems to add to the "Jamming affect" of the slide as it closes........I have added a thin brass shim to the upper housing joint to help here. I forgot to reply to your query about the weight of the bike verses your Manx........ Well that is a difficult one..........I know the Slimline frame is heavier than a genuine Manx frame........have you ever had your bike on the scales to see what it is........Mine is almost exactly 65 Kg's on the front and same on the rear........this is with oils but no fuel. I have gone to a lot of trouble to save weight in many area's over the whole bike........at significant cost too.......But I did not machine any material from the main engine casings or covers. Lots of small weight savings, including all new suspension........the rear coilovers are very light weight, as are the Ceriani fork yolks. Do you know what the Manx engine weighs........They are a large engine with massive fins and cambox............ Cheers. [/QUOTE]
