Hi all,

I don't think air injection was fitted to any bikes that came to Australia.

Thanks to all for any advice given on setting up my bike to idle correctly. I think I have it pretty good now. With the mixture screws out almost 3/4 from seated to get a mixture that doesn't cause popping on the overrun and doesn't stall on sharp slow down. So thanks guys.

Mind you it is easy to become totally obsessed with getting the balance correct.

The Carbtune worked well but I didn't like the flutter in the tubes when setting the idle, fine for higher rpm but at idle the flutter was quite annoying.

Best to all,
Paul

1 whole turn = 180 degrees?

 180 degrees is half a turn. ie flat side of screwdriver that was facing you is now at the back.
