[QUOTE="Howard, post: 24639, member: 271"] As Albervin says, not everything in the books is totally relevant now. If it hasn't been run on the new "petrol" you may need to richen the carbs. If it was running right before you did work on the bike, I usually find that it's down to the Nut - the one holding the spanner. :) I'd look for air leaks on the back carb, tight tappets, and carb synchronisation, before you get involved with anything major.
