April 23, 20179 yr It does take a lot of time and patience to get them running crisp, this video is maybe three years old and I think it would have had a Keihin on it. I have run with a dellorto but I would have to say the keihin/oko is the easiest to get running crisply.
April 24, 20179 yr Does run but not very nice still a bit lean and still not crisp. The engine does rev a bit longer after a throttle burst then it should. I believe the carb is worn out typical slide, needle and jet. The engine can also run much slower in idle mode, Sherpas love to rev slow when ideling I strongly think there is still another issue Edited April 24, 20179 yr by pschrauber

April 24, 20179 yr Mmmh then there is something different the issue. The engine sounds as it don't want to accelerate right and when it finally archieved some rev and you close throttle the motor want's to run away but doesn't have the power ... so finally decides to slow down. - Timing of the ignition? - How does the plug color picture look like?
April 24, 20179 yr The slow return to idle speed is a classic symptom of an air leak - possibly from crank seals, the intake stub to barrel gasket, carb connector or centre case gasket. The 64mm stroke engines (eg. 350, 360 and 370cc but not 325cc) have a tendency to leak around the centre gasket as there is very little material between the crankcase and a couple of the stud holes. If it's very slow to drop back to idle - and especially if it makes that " imm bim bim bim" sound while doing so - then I'd be doing a pressure test. It's either very lean at idle or it's leaking air. And of course the other common symptom of an air leak is a cooked or seized piston....
April 25, 20179 yr I see you have bought an OKO/keihin for your Montesa, I would stick that on the Bully and see if you have the same symptoms
April 25, 20179 yr I run a VM26 on my 350 M199; it runs perfectly on this jetting so it might be a good place to start: 120 main (summer) 130 in winter N8 needle jet, 5DP39 needle (better from 1/4 to 1/2 than 5F21) clip in middle groove 60 pilot Screw 2 turns out 2.0 slide 0.5 air bleed Bear in mind summers here are around 25 - 35C, winters around 10 - 15C
April 25, 20179 yr Netleys bike sounds like it needs a larger pilot to me,however its very difficult to sort out just watching a video

But if it turns out to already have a 50 or 60 in it I'd be having a good look for an air leak before putting an even bigger jet in. Probably sounds worse than it really is because the idle speed is set high.
April 25, 20179 yr Author Thanks for sharing your collective wisdom, much appreciated. The crank seals were changed recently during re-build and hopefully cooking the piston didn't do any harm. I will check for possible air leaks around the carb and see what jet it's fitted with. New OKO carb will hopefully arrive today.
April 25, 20179 yr just ordered 2 oko carburettors 1 for me and 1 for a friend have you ordered the 26m or 28m?
