Hi,
The other day, I checked my carb sync and whilst doing that I noticed a distinct tap from the front carb intake which chuffs unlike the rear which hisses. I let the bike cool overnight and checked the valve clearances this morning. They were OK but I reset them just to be sure but still have the noise. I did notice that the inlet rocker has about 6 thou side play, measured with a feeler gauge. The bike is a 55 rapide with amal monoblocks and has done about 2000 miles since being rebuilt. Sorry forgot to mention that the other rockers have much lest side play.
Regards Mac
