Hey all, just got it running for the first time in what must be 10 or 15 years. Took quite a long time, but a few cc of Petrol in each cylinder did the trick. Sound like a sewing machine. Clutch was seized up but a bump start and some acceleration and braking freed it up.
Only problem is it will race unless choke is out, must be a weak mixture at tickover, but I’m running all standard jets and filters. Only difference from stock is 2:1 exhaust and silencer off a 900cc triumph adventurer. Any ideas guys or gals.
Only wY I could post video is on FB

The carbs need to be synchronized first.

What are the mix screws set at?

Aftermarket exhaust will change things but shouldnt really be a factor at idle.. might make it a bit lean.
