This is great reading for a novice carb man like myself, but can someone tell me how you tell if your running too lean or too rich ?? Honest, I really am a novice when it comes to carb maintenance

That's an acronym not txt talk He said it comes with 30 but said most folk put a 33 in as a 30 is more for warmer climes.

I hear Geordie lasses already have a lump in their throat

No not at all, but it's obvious my original posting went over the top of some people's heads Go back to BF's post, and try and work it out

Ah ffs, get oo'er yersells eh

I was referring to billywizz

Yep, said like a typical southern softie

It's been cleaned, I spoke to the chap at Splatshop, I ordered parts from them, I spoke to the man from Dellorto, I am trying to cover all base's. HTH

You tell em Mhari In fact it would be less stressful if you just said it was a fix and let them be

Never ridden it, only been to watch it once and with you on the achievement side of things, but I know how hard the sections look, I know how bloody miserable the weather can be and know how tough the road riding and moors riding is, but saying all that, what have you got to lose ? other than a failure ! Go for it fella

Not sure what's in there at the mo. Just bought the bike and ain't running great, previous owner did say something about the needle not being right as he ran a different carb. Ordered said jet and needle, cheers

Can anyone tell me what pilot jet and needle is run in the standard carb of a 2010 290 please ?

WOW, that's spooky, I've just had the exact same thing said in a txt from some weirdo

He had a Ti exhaust on it, removed it for sale separately. I'm all new to this bike maintenance fella, I don't even know what reeds are

Plug looks fine, previous owner (last week) said the plug was brand new, it looks it.

Aye, cheers for that Anyway, it's also not idling either, anyone care to offer some help ?

Maybe he/she didn't realise they had damaged your van !

Had my new bike out today and felt it wasn't picking up from the bottom very well, stalled it a few times. but given the power this bike has, I'd have thought it would've picked up better from the bottom.....anyway, when cleaning it I noticed the zorst had "blackened up" from the barrel, had a good look at it, and seems the previous dude has stripped one of the bolts :banghead: So 1) Is this the reason it's not picking up great from the bottom or would the slow throttle be the reason ? 2010 290 btw

Regatta jacket,

What's the difference in a support championship and a national ? Excuse my ignorance !

It's a beast, mine near flew over the fence yesterday

Nope, I mean the one at Altnafeadh opposite Bookil

See the bigger rock you took a bit to get over, well there will be a hundred of them to get over.....per section Lagnaha last year....
