    <!-- s:alcoholic: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_all_coholic.gif" alt=":alcoholic:" title="Alcoholic" /><!-- s:alcoholic: --> My carbs are acting up. im only getting 125km per tank excluding reserve and if im on the motorway topping it out at about 155Km/h i get most power output from about two thirds throttel, beyond this i lose power completly. I bought the haynes manual on motorcycle carbs and it tells me to buy some very expensive vacume guage equipment, before i go down this road could anyone advise me of the default positions of all the adjustables on the carbs. thanks to all who reply.

    - Clean, clean, clean, clean, clean, clean, clean <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->. Reassemble.
    - Set all needles to middle notch (#3)
    - Set pilot jets to 2&1/2 - 3 turns out

    Can't remember float heights off the top of my head.

    Also check the choke is shutting off completely and the air filter is not restricted.
