[QUOTE="Chris Launders, post: 26541, member: 2010"] Tried with no pilot jets,better still but still erratic with both air screws at 3/4 turn out.Then came across Jim Mosher's post on thevincent.com a really enlightening article. All my mk1's(2 on the bike and 4 others) all had 25 thou restrictor, so away to a model shop for some drills.The 1mm (40thou) were too short but the 1.2mm were long enough so used one of these to drill through the restrictor.Then fitted 30 pilot jets,set the air screws at 1-1/4 turns out and kicked away.UNBELIEVEABLE ticked over without altering anything at all,picks up better and shuts off cleanly dropping instantly to a steady even beat. All I need to do now is go for a long run to see what its like when really warmed up. [/QUOTE]
