you should just take them off and send them to Danny at Brc.
Highly recommend him :clapping:

You have to sync them or it will run like poo.

Thanks Bill but aitchy is overseas and had Exactrep rebuild his carbs.

aitchy, Harry needs one of these....every set of carbs we do gets test run on this bike and sync'd before going out. You will need to get a Morgan Carbtune or similar instrument to sync your carbs or find a local shop or buddy who can do this for you.

If you have can change the oil and brakes on the bike, you can learn how to work on the carbs. I had to work on my carbs 3 times so it's good to no how it works on the inside.

But if don't have the time to pull the carbs apart you can send them to few guy's in this forum.

Any time you get into the carbs, you will ALWAYS need to sync them afterwards, and you cant do that until they are back on the bike. Morgan builds a GREAT sync tool.

If you need help syncing the carbs, there are several people on this forum that can walk you thru the steps.

Thanks chaps the carbs have been serviced by extrapt its just that when i take it of choke it cuts out i presume they can not be balanced while the choke is still on if you get my drift i have got a set of gauges to do the job

Bike needs to be fully warmed up for a proper sync but if you have to make adjustments with the choke on to keep it running that's ok.

Perhaps the idle thumb screw needs adjusted up?
