[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 4545, member: 109"] [b]I did 150 miles today....[/b] Evening all, Yes Tom - I tried JTAN too as I've learnt there are many people there who won't use the Forum. I put the Denso W20EP-ZU in and did 150 miles today on the needle dropped one notch and the carb cleaned thoroughly. She is still running very sooty - but ran perfectly well on the run, happy to sit at 30mph on a back road and tootle along, equally at home pulling strongly up a slight gradient through 90mph and beyond very enthusiastically. Very happy at 50-60 in top all day long. Front cylinder did not miss a beat. I think I will now get hold of some Denso W16EP-ZU (which will run slightly hotter) and see if that helps things get better still. Looks like I might do the Riders Rally after all. Thanks to all for suport so far - I'll post more detail on my carb thread - I think changing down the 170 main jet is next on the list. Regards Stuart [/QUOTE]
