[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 53973, member: 60"] I dont mind owning up-I think most of the problem is my paddock stand I have a high one so I can get a good push on my foxley starter and of course that increases the down draft, Here is Roger Moss on the subject in Scott technicalities. the penny dropped three lines from the end:oops: [I]I use TTs on both of my Scotts. The correct float height is found when petrol starts to weep(difficult to see be patient) out of the "hole" underneath the pilot screw when the tickler is pushed down for an instant, ie a jab , not a push and hold down. The petrol should then continue to weep out of the hole, slowly forming a drip.This will only stop on switching the petrol off. If you have raised the float too high you must drain some petrol off before starting again. Under static level conditions there should be no petrol coming out of this hole. I use a torch to help my aged eyes( you may be more fortunate) , then you can see the film of petrol leaving the hole before a drip forms. All tests should be done with the bike level . Take your time, and you should be rewarded with easy starting and good low and high speed performance. I think TTs are magic![/I] [/QUOTE]
