Hi I am new to the forum but have been reading the posts while searching for a sherpa to get myself acquainted with the bikes I have acquired a 1973 sherpa 350, It ticks over and starts fine andI can cruise around the garden on ticover or a little throttle but when I try to give it a 'blast' it just dies I have had the fuel tap out, all ok and the carb apart all looks ok, the pilot jet needing cleaning but I put it back tiogether and the problem is the same. If i tickle the carb with the plunger and then gas it it goes fine so it looks like fuel starvation but i dont knoe where to go next One thing when I unblocked the pilot jet i tried to blow into the hole it came out of but coulnt hear anything, not sure if i should be able. Main jet is clear Thanks Nick
