But first off Nug, bummer the cdi shit the bed. Bet tracking that down as a causation was one of those sherlock holmes scenarios "when all other possibilities are eliminated..." craic yea?
Major saviour in the shape of the Bobcat carrying a spare. A two minute fix!


Back in April i bought a set of bst36 that "OR" on here had dissected and mounted on a dr carb brackets. The idea being the + 3mmm or roughly 19% extra volume once jetted correctly = well more in some regard. O.R. has done this for a fair few Dutch riders and the consensus seems positive. With my hit and miss carburation i said in for a penny.
Tried them but the idle settings were off for my bike. OR had best guessed the my jetting but she was choking. Left them there and swopped some bits with another set of stock BST33's I also bought from him and I've been there since.
With a date with my dyno dude tomo and a day off work booked i took a gamble on at least one removal of the carbs (i suspect there may be many lol) and swapped the idle jets from 37.5 to 45 and main jet from 135 to 127.5. Fairly standard and maybe a good starting place. I'm a complete amateur in regard jetting but am a willing student shall we say:)

So armed with my bag of spares and three sets of carbs I'm hopeful he's an understanding sort lol

Anyway, the plan is a ride home on a mostly "finished" bike tomo evening all going well. Lol, as if.
Our Dave22 wisely recommended rigging an aux fuel bottle so tank ripping and install drams be limited so that will be done, and I've rejigged the toolkit with all the necessary bits (i hope) ya regularly reach for when ripping carbs out. This same fellas good. With my moriwaki system he eeked 145 horse from her. Doesn't say much but knows much!
Here was the last run, which saw the engine develop its knock on the ride home:( Hopefully no re runs of that drama.

Of any bike Ive ever owned a wot run as above will say the least in terms of rideability and enjoyment than with this machine, outright power is not what she's about but a fat crisp delivery just on the right side of rich will make Harry a happy boy.
Will report back
