Just thought I would jump in on the carby sync discussion.
Just recently Yorkie was kind enough to send Carby tool and since have been having a play.
My observations so far.
I have recently attended to all the valve shims and AnaSTasia has sat unfired for a little over 12 months,untill recently.
When starting for the 1st time i observed as mentioned above what quite metallic noise, quite scary really. also seems like engine vibration coming though hand grips, more than i seem to recall in the past.
Since then I have started her a few times seems as if getting a little better. New fuel--carby cleaner.
Any way a couple of days ago I got to operating temp and noticed running better when warm, so did carby sync some minor adjustment not really a lot, less than I would have thought.
Any way yesterday fired her up again, Wont fire without choke went cold and it not that cold really, anyway got temp up not as warm as the day before and checked carbs and discovered quite a bit of discrepancy. Thinks out loud, I look at that later.
Anyway this morning I start her with a little choke and notice a little backfire though carbs, even with choke off still a little backfire. Increase revs a little and can here a little popping, all with air cleaner cover off.
I also smell what I call a pepper type smell from around the intake area, I related this smell to a sort of coolant smell , takes me back to an old car I had with coolant leak car heater system.
So before I start ripping everything apart unnecessarily can I ask a few opinions factual would be appreciated.
Cheers
