Guest Ned Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Stop having a cry you diddle - put your old carb back on and drive down - it'll take you 2 hours to swap if you start now. Or miss out on trackday and drive down tomorrow. i would have, but have no throttle cable etc as they got modded for new carb. Putting old carb on is not an option unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest k-trips Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Why are you still here - you are meant to be tuning your carbs / going to see SOHC who has said he can tune them IIRC.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest retep130 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 im not being facetious but I have played with 3 sets of bike carbs, and unless there is something else wrong then it shouldnt take more than 2-3 hours to get the jets right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shaneo Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 I have to wait for the lady to finish work so will miss the convoy as well. Any one leaving Auckland around 6 ish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ned Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Sohc wasn't free to help. He said it took weeks to tune them right. Keen in mind for every change, I have to pull off the throttle, fuel, regulator, carbs and then do changes to main jet and put it all back together again... And I am tuning KK, need laptop for that so have a quick peek every so often. And now I'm cutting a log so I'm allowed to be here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rookie Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yea like Pete said, 2-3 hours tops. Remember to tune from the top down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest retep130 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 ned ive done this 3 times, and I know whats involved, im considering this nedding around. there should be no reason you cant be at bp at 130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yowzer Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yowzer, sounds like someone needs to drop their unreliable Toyotas and get a rusty trusty Alfa Romeo. Bring on all that twisty stuff! This engine has never given me any reason to believe it's unreliable, but they are well known for head warping and bearing running, and I'm probably pushing out near double the factory horsepower.

Guest Ned Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 If you guys can do it in 2-3 hours, then come do it and I'll pay you $50 an hour. Calling it nedding around is a load if shit, I've worked my ass if trying to tune this and I'm sorry I'm not as fast as you pro guys. This is not a good time to be giving me shit btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
